TEXT A

THE HITCH-HIKER’S GUIDE TO THE INTERNET

1. What about the creep who’s after the kids? The Internet is in many ways
a mirror of the real world. In the same way that an unsavoury character
with unsavoury motives hangs about in the physical world – whether they
be a political extremist, sex fiend or merely a social misfit – you will find
them in the electronic world, too. 5

2. By the same token, to condemn the Internet because of the presence of

such creeps is to condemn the physical world, too. The big difference is
that, in the electronic universe, it is much easier to hide behind anonymity
and the aspirant propagandist of evil is potentially able to reach a far wider
audience with far fewer resources than would have been possible in the 10
physical world.

3. But that, in turn, implies than any legal weaponry aimed at controlling
such evil would have a far wider impact than merely silencing a source of
illicit activity.

4. There are numerous clues that suggest that the censorship debate is 15
about control of the Internet rather than protection of the innocent. For
instance, the presence of child pornography is often cited as justification
for censorship of the Internet. As mentioned above, however, these
expressions are already outlawed across the planet and do not require
further legislation. In countries as far apart as the United States, the 20
United Kingdom and South Africa people have been arrested for
distributing child pornography via the Internet. No new laws are needed.
What is needed is better policing of the existing laws, and better co-
operation between police forces in different countries.

5. The flip side of the coin is seldom considered by the proponents of 25

censorship: the concepts of privacy and freedom of speech. Most of these
proponents, for instance, would never consider calling for all mail going
through post offices to thoroughly be scrutinised for indecent content –
although autocratic societies like the old Soviet Union and apartheid
South Africa practiced a form of this invasion of privacy. Nor would they 30
suggest that every utterance in a public forum or at a sports game or pub

Gr 11 English HL Task 10.1 Term 4 – 2024 ©TAC
Paper 1 - Language
or party be subject to the same kind of scrutiny. Yet that is exactly what
would be demanded of censorship of the Internet.

6. Yes, there are dangers on the Internet; yes, children can come across
material that offends them, or after diligent searches find material that 35
they can willingly allow corrupting them; and yes, there are people out
there who would like to prey on children who innocently venture out on to
the unchartered waters of the cyber sea.

7. But so it is in the physical world, too. The only way to ensure absolute
safety in the physical world is to cocoon children, cut them off from the 40
outside world, and watch their every move. Failing that, you would need
to shut down shopping malls, libraries and even schools, in case anything
offensive might be read, heard, or seen.

8. And so, it is with the Internet. It is a world alive with information,

stimulation, and social interaction. Some wonderfully valuable, some 45
deeply offensive. But just as you do not throw out the benefits of an open
society with the bathwater of its social ills, so you do not diminish the
power of the Internet for the sake of people who might panic at an excess
of freedom.

9. The bottom line is that there is a price to pay for the communications 50
miracle wrought by the Internet. If you do not want society to pay the price
– unfettered access to all things good and bad – there may be an even
worse price to pay, namely restriction of freedoms that extend far beyond
the right to view dirty pictures.

ESSENTIAL INTERNET SAFETY TIPS

So much of our daily life revolves around the internet, from work to education and even
talking with friends. To avoid online dangers, internet safety tips are essential.
Although using public Wi-Fi is not recommended, it’s sometimes unavoidable. You have
no direct control over its security, which could leave you vulnerable. If you are using
public Wi-Fi, avoid carrying out transactions that use sensitive data, such as online
banking.
Passwords are one of the biggest weak spots when it comes to cybersecurity. People
often choose passwords that are easy to remember and, therefore, easy for hackers to
crack with hacking software. Select strong passwords that are harder for cybercriminals
to crack
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that asks users to provide
two or more verification methods to access an online account. For example, instead of
simply asking for a username or password, multifactor authentication goes further by
requesting additional information.
By using the latest versions of your operating systems and apps, you will benefit from
the latest security patches. For any website you visit, especially ones you transact with
(such as e-commerce sites), it's crucial that they are reliable.
You can take charge of how much information third parties can access. Both web
browsers and mobile operating systems have settings to protect your privacy online. It’s
worth taking a while to review your privacy settings across the board and make sure
they are set to a level you are comfortable with.
A careless click can expose your personal data online or infect your device
with malware. That’s why it's essential to browse consciously and avoid certain types of
online content – such as links from untrusted sources and spam emails. People you
meet online are not always who they claim to be. Fake social media profiles are a
popular way for hackers to groom unwary internet users and pick their cyber pockets.
Apply the same caution in your online social life as you would for your in-person social
life. [Adapted from: www.kaspersky.com/]

CATFISHED!

1. From the famous Kylie Jenner to the not-so-famous random Russian

woman, there are plenty of catfishes out there in the world. According to
the internet, this is because of the changes in her look, the internet is
convinced that there are two Kylie Jenners. There's the real Kylie, then
the "catfish" version who is trotted out for photos and public events. 5

2. Another catfish, Lucia Cole, seemed poised for musical stardom, with a
popular social media presence, interviews with press, and rumours that
she had collaborated and worked with people like Drake and Ariana
Grande. There was just one little hicup: Cole didn't exist. To make the
whole story even more complex, the person behind Lucia Cole was 10
running the same scam with numerous other "singers," stealing and re-
uploading old music and using photos of various models on social media.

3. And finally, we have Uma Kompton, a woman with popular social media
accounts that advertises her original music. Of course, this being the
internet, Uma Kompton does not exist. The pictures showing "Uma" were 15
actually stolen from woman in Russia who had originally posted them to
VK, a Russian social media site. After BuzzFeed reported on the
fraudulent accounts, her Twitter was suspended. Her Instagram account
remains active, however.
