The Online Lowdown: 5 Serious Violations to Avoid

Reviewing Andriy Slynchuk's "11 Illegal Things You Unknowingly Do on the Internet" highlighted the importance of being mindful of our online actions. The five most serious violations include using someone else's internet without permission, collecting information about children under 13, lying about your age to access adult-only websites, extracting audio from YouTube for personal use, and searching for illegal content online.

These offenses are concerning as they not only break the law but also jeopardize the safety and privacy of others. For example, unauthorized internet use can lead to identity theft, while collecting data on children risks their safety. Similarly, lying about age exposes minors to inappropriate content, potentially harming their mental health. It's crucial to respect the privacy and rights of others while navigating the online world.
