By Administrator
The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

What are SOPA and PIPA?

What are SOPA and PIPA?

You've probably come across the abbreviations SOPA and PIPA a lot lately, but you're wondering what they really mean.

Here I will briefly explain what is SOPA what is PIPA and which is more dangerous for us (our region).

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is the Internet Piracy Prevention Act. A law that expands the powers of U.S. law enforcement agencies and copyright holders to combat the unauthorized dissemination, counterfeiting, and trade of protected intellectual property over the Internet.

So, if someone copies a text, image, song, clip… from a site that is protected by a license, to their site or anywhere else, it will have great consequence.

This law is not so dangerous for us because if you copy content to your site from a licensed site, your site will be blocked only in the United States.

As for PIPA (Personal Information Protection Act), the story is similar only that the site that copied the content is deleted from the Internet!

Currently, large sites (and others) are protesting against the introduction of these laws. Among them are Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, Wikipedia... and many others. The latest information is that there were as many as 7,000 sites in the protest.

To click on the post or not?

By Administrator
Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.

What are your experiences with HBO Max? Are they better, or worse, what are the advantages, and what are the disadvantages…? I write about all this in the continuation of the article.
