Out of all of the illegal activities on the internet, faking your identity, cyberbullying, sharing other individuals’ private information, illegal searches on the internet, and collecting information about children under 13. I feel like these five are the most serious offenses. Firstly, faking your identity especially when it’s another real living person instead of yourself comes with serious consequences and possibly damages that person’s life. Second, cyberbullying. A lot of suicides are caused by this. I never understood why people did this knowing how it can affect one’s mental health and can drive them to do worse. Third, leaking others’ confidential information. This one is usually out of revenge or malice but never excusable. Fourthly, illegal searches on the web.
