Internet Paranoia

[md16185]

Have ya noticed that alot of people online act like there is little good online.. I have seen sites that either disallow them, or restrict them to sigs. Then there are the people that are too afraid to do a site or blog, afraid they'll get stalked. Yet, alot of people go on chats with their age/sex/location, since they barely know their name.

I on't see why people don't know how to act normal on the web... It seems like the media only speaks about the dangers, like people aren't too bright.

Well, I would think the media isn't helping things. In the UK there were two programmes about internet paedophiles and one of the programmes practically said that your child isn't safe online.

Tbh, I think one is more likely to be hacked (which I have been) than come in contact with a paedophile and/or stalker.

I think alot of the media operates from a "negative" or "dirty laundry" aspect.
