Week 5 EOC

The internet today as we know is one of the most tools in the world for such tasks, as work, gathering information, the news, and multiple other assignments. Though it is a reliable tool to use for almost anything you could do it also has its challenges especially in the modern times. One of the biggest legal issues with the internet is our privacy.
Privacy in simple terms is information or activity you withheld from the public. The public doesn’t know about what you do other than what you normally do such as work. On social media, you can have the option to privatize certain information that you think can be tampered with by others. Such information such as a phone number, email address, or relationships can be private and never revealed to the public. Based on J. J Britz, he says that technology such the internet are hazards to anybody for their privacy.  He tends to try to legally revert and enforce some acts to our privacy to make absolute sure that our privacy is guaranteed to never be seen or altered.
Another legal issue with internet is how children explore it. It is quite a challenge to actually handle how children explore the web since the internet is becoming a part of our culture in the modern times. There isn’t really any practical solution for children to avoid mature content but there has been website blocks in schools such gaming sites, social media, and porn sites.
One other annoying issue with the modern internet is spam. Spam congest networks making them difficult to read also they can cause viruses to your computer or laptop not only those problems but it makes you trust the internet a little less. Internetsociety.org tries to figure a way out to try to reduce the number of spam on a website and improve the internet. The organization has developed a project to combat spam. They also want an effective law that deals with spam and how to fight it.
