After reading the article by Andriy Slynchuk, I believe that the five most serious illegal actions on the internet are faking your identity online, bullying and trolling, recording a VoIP call without consent, collecting information about people younger than 13, and sharing passwords, addresses, or photos of others. Faking your identity is serious because you could be doing it to harm others and get information on them by pretending to be someone that you are not. Bullying and trolling is such serious offense that it can end with criminal charges and even jail time. Being mean to people that you don’t even know just for fun is wrong and should never be done. Bullying and trolling put the victim in danger because their mental health can be seriously threatened when they are receiving so many negative messages online. Many people use social media and the internet for entertainment purposes, and no one should ever be scared to go online because they are being bullied. Recording a VoIP call without consent is a serious crime for a few reasons. Even just recording the call for personal use is wrong if you were not given consent to do so by the person on the other end of the call. Everyone has a right to keep their calls private and recording a VoIP call without the other person being aware completely violates their privacy and it is illegal. Another huge violation of privacy is sharing someone’s passwords, addresses, or photos without their consent. The last illegal action on the internet that I chose to be one of the most serious was collecting information about people younger than 13. This is illegal because it completely disregards the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act which was put in place to stop websites from collecting information on children without parental permission. Most social media sites don’t allow you to create an account until you are 13 for these reasons and to ensure the safety of children on the internet.
