How You Can Work With Cyber Law to Protect Yourself

***

A simple search online will bring up thousands of stories of people being defrauded by fake websites pretending to sell information to help you start your own business, or even memberships to get you started in your own internet business. But what is happening to the people who are responsible for these scams? Well, there are Laws that protect the consumer, but anyone with any real knowledge of the industry is aware that Information Technology law, the laws that govern internet usage is really in its infancy stage. However, the dominating effect that the internet has had on the community and popular culture has suddenly put Info Tech law into high gear.

In the past year or so, the Federal Trade Commission has created laws that impact those who blog or try to sell things on the internet. People who blog are no longer able to write whatever they wish at will. Now they must say up front that their writings are opinions, and that they no way qualify as an expert. This is how Cyber Law works as a protection for internet user from misleading.
Unfortunately, this is not stopping the Google profits scam artists. If you search Google "home income," scam after scam still pops up. The reason is that these people actually know much more about Cyber Law and the new FTC regulations than the average consumer. The average consumer does not go to the Federal Trade Commission website before online shopping.

Cyber law is much like law in the real world just because stealing your purse is illegal, doesn't mean you are not at risk for it happening to you. You must be smart, watch the people around you, have your purse securely on your arm and even hold on the strap with your hand and show the muggers of the world that you won't be an easy target. The Federal Trade Commission or Cyber Law can only protect you once a crime has been committed. You, on the other hand, are the one who can prevent a crime from happening.
