There are certain cons and dangers relating to the use of internet that can be summarized as:
- Personal Information: If you use the Internet, your personal information such as your name, address, etc. can be accessed by other people. If you use a credit card to shop online, then your credit card information can also be 'stolen' which could be akin to giving someone a blank check.
- Pornography: This is a very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially when it comes to young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detriment to letting children use the Internet.
- Spamming: This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no purpose and unnecessarily clog up the entire system.
If you come across any illegal activity on the Internet, such as child pornography or even spammers, then you should report these people and their activities so that they can be controlled and other people deterred from carrying them out. Child pornography can be reported to:
- Your Internet service provider
- Local police station
- Cyber Angels (program to report cyber crime)
Such illegal activities are frustrating for all Internet users, and so instead of just ignoring it, we should make an effort to try and stop these activities so that using the Internet can become that much safer. That said, the advantages of the Internet far outweigh the disadvantages, and millions of people each day benefit from using the Internet for work and for pleasure.

∙ 13y agoIn an internet class that I used to teach, I described it as "25% fact, 25% bull, and 50% advertising".
The Internet is NOT the be-all and end-all of information, because so much content is opinion and not fact.
Additionally, the internet makes it easy to distribute copy written material, which in turn costs software and recording industries billions of dollars per year in lost revenues.
Because of the naivete of so many users on the 'net, con artists, stalkers, and sex offenders are constantly using the 'net to find their victims.
