CyberX Beware of fake reassurance on the Internet

The #Internet breaks the barrier of reticence or shyness among the user. Everything that is forbidden in human dealings with each other directly and face to face becomes permissible online.

As for the system of life, ideas and beliefs that are different and opposed to those that we live and exist in our societies, it becomes easier to integrate into them as long as they are words and images and do not directly affect us, but to what extent do they pose a danger to us and are these actions that the individual performs on the Internet safe? ?

The specialist and psychotherapist, Charlotte Khalil, explained to the Cyber ” She added, “This situation may constitute a conflict with themselves or with the surroundings that prevents them or limits their ability to adapt in their society, so they feel alienated, not belonging, and even isolated. They find in the #virtualworld an escape that makes them less aware of and less connected to reality.”

We are always reserved face to face with strangers and perhaps with the people closest to us. But on air, this barrier is broken. We forget ourselves and reveal our privacy to millions of strangers due to a lack of sense of reserve. In this regard, the psychologist points out that “distance enhances the feeling of safety and reduces the person’s fear that any harm or ill will befall him. Due to the absence of direct contact with others on the Internet, some people go out and disclose matters that are sensitive or unacceptable in their culture and environment.” The presence of false identities for blackmailers, swindlers, lurkers, and hackers makes it easier for them to catch their prey without being discreet.

Al-Khalil warned of the effects of this space on children and adolescents, “as it is easy at their age to be influenced by everything that is different, especially since they are in the process of building their identity in general, so their innocence and good intentions are exposed to exploitation.” She stressed “the necessity of paying attention to #algorithms run by #artificial_intelligence programs.” “And it is able to monitor what we interact with and then direct ads in a thoughtful way that allows people to be exploited and persuade them to buy specific things or direct them towards a specific behavior.”

During the conversation with “Cyber “It was fake.” Charlotte Khalil concluded, “It is important to report if we are exposed to any blackmail, theft, or any kind of harassment or assault. We must also be careful not to conceal any personal or other information. Parents must play the role of observer in everything related to their children’s interaction with this virtual world.”

It is another trick from the #digital_world, which is to spread comfort, reassurance, and security through radio waves, algorithms, and electronic devices, luring the user to expose everything he owns, with the aim of preparing him as prey for hackers. O user, adhere to awareness, then awareness, then reservation.
