Journal Entry #14

            People do many things online to break the law, and sometimes they might not even know it. The worst things that people do are use fake identities, look up illegal things, record calls without consent, bullying, and sharing personal information. Using a fake identity is the worst offense out of these because identity fraud is a serious crime that can have long lasting effects on people’s lives. The seconds worst offense is looking up illegal things, like how to make bombs or hire criminals. Sometimes doing things like these could catch your ISP’s attention and you could get in trouble. The third worst offense is recording calls without people’s consent. Depending on the state you live in, it can be illegal to record someone without their consent. Bullying or cyberbullying is also a crime and can sometimes result in jail time. Sharing other people’s personal information can put them at risk, and if the information is something like a picture of private property, it’s illegal to share.
