Honestly some of these are illegal but will never stop people from caring such as streaming services and copyrighted images. People have been doing that since I was in middle school and people haven’t stopped yet. They’ve found new ways/sites to find their favorite show or that movie they don’t want to pay for. Sad but true, I will say out of the list the five I feel are the worse are bullying/trolling, collecting information about children, faking your identify, sharing images of others and using copyrighted images and or videos.
First bullying and trolling is not right whether it is virtually or in person. No one should have to go through that as things of that nature pushes people to depression. Plus, I’ve always lived by treat others how you’d like to be treated. We all want to be treated with respect and kindly so why pick on someone. Deal with own problems and leave people alone.
Second, collecting information of children is creepy. Let kids be kids and not get yourself put behind bars. No one should be getting information about kids if they aren’t related to you or family. If they are impersonating to be something they aren’t that is different but have a level of discernment as well.
Third, faking your identify is a silly game to play. Because eventually it will catch up to you one way or another. Whether you are doing so to get a goods or service or get into somewhere. You can have major consequences due to you for one faking your identity and being somewhere you weren’t suppose to be to begin with.
Fourth, sharing images of others is an invasion of privacy. Which is why I’ve noticed a lot of gyms have added in their contract’s photos may be taken. So, you are aware of it if you end up on a flyer or on their website. So, you can’t sue or do anything of that nature. But otherwise, don’t do anything without any one’s consent. As well as pay attention to filling out applications to places like gyms and things. Because you may feel like your privacy isn’t being respected but you signed away giving people permission.
Fifth and last using copyrighted images and or videos without the rights to it. Yes, we all want to save money and get things for free. But is it fair to those people who put their hard work into the craft and now can’t profit off it? No, stop trying to take shortcuts. I honestly wish they would have a better crack on this crime as I said earlier it has been going on for years. But it is something that is hard to keep track of and stop. People are always finding new ways.
