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

Andriy Slynchuk’s article highlights several illegal activities that internet users might unknowingly engage in. Among these, the five most serious violations include using unofficial streaming services, faking one’s identity online, cyberbullying and trolling, sharing passwords or personal information of others, and collecting information about children without consent. Using unofficial streaming services is a form of copyright infringement that deprives content creators of their rightful earnings and undermines the entertainment industry. Faking one’s identity online can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and further criminal activities. Cyberbullying and trolling can cause severe emotional distress and even lead to suicide, making it a pervasive issue. Sharing passwords, addresses, or photos of others without consent violates privacy and can result in identity theft and harassment. Lastly, collecting information about children without parental consent is a serious violation of privacy laws and can expose minors to exploitation and identity theft. These offenses are serious because they can cause significant harm to individuals and society, ranging from financial loss and emotional distress to broader impacts on industries and legal systems.
