What scares you most about the internet?

The misinformation, by far. The internet should be free, and I feel like we're slowly moving away from that... I mean, a major debate topic in these Republican Presidential Debates is whether or not TikTok should be banned in our country... I don't see that ever happening, but it's crazy that it's a possibility.

Still, it scares me how easily individuals will believe whatever they see on here.

It can be addictive, in a negative way. It baffles me to see how many young ones just scroll their precious time away all day on the internet and social media. The time they should use productively they are wasting it on what brings no gain and benefits to them.

I totally agree! Whenever I'm out and see a young person at the store or even at church, their faces are in their phones. Is that a way to live life?

Hate groups. Been a target of a couple, I don't recommend it.

My personal information can be compromised. Think about how many sites we join and how much personal information we give to those sites. I regret joining social networks because there are bots that crawl social networks to add your information to some website's databases only for them to try and sell you personal information or just reveal it freely.

Since anyone and everyone can say what they want to say regardless of how poor they are when it comes to knowledge, yes it is scary when users believe what is said in there and follow instructions specially when it comes to health

I am scared that youngsters can pick up some information that they should not know. This is one of the downsides of using the internet without the supervision of adults.
