Review what the author says and write a paragraph describing the five most serious violations and why you think those offenses are serious.

According to Andriy Slynchuk’s article, “11 Illegal Things You Unknowingly Do on the Internet,” there are five critical online behaviors that can lead to legal trouble. Those behaviors include using unofficial streaming services, using torrent services, bullying and trolling, recording  a VoIP call without consent, and illegal searches on the internet. Using unofficial streaming services and torrent services to access copyrighted material without payment is illegal and considered unethical. That is because the creators of the material get deprived of their rightful earnings. Cyberbullying and trolling can lead to emotional and psychological consequences for victims, and sometimes can lead  to criminal charges. Recording a VoIP call without consent is a serious  breach of privacy and is illegal. Lastly, taking part in illegal internet searches, such as searching for child pornography or criminal activity, can lead to serious legal consequences. These violations are serious because they impose on the rights of other individuals and can cause  significant harm.
