Their internet activity exposes them to two substantial risks: exposure to harmful content and identity theft and its use for slander and bullying. This article examines the characteristics and scope of the problem. It proposes ways of minimizing the damage that these risks pose to children and teenagers, while dealing with the existing privacy restrictions. Keywords: Internet, internet bullying, identity theft, pornography, children, teenagers Introduction Technological development has many advantages but also more than a few disadvantages, ranging from society’s absolute dependence on technology, which causes exposure to the shutdown of services and information leaks due to cyberattacks, to the possibility of financial fraud, and physical damage to critical processes. Despite the severity of these disadvantages, children and teenagers continue to be exposed to them, particularly to two dangerous phenomena: identity theft through the internet and exposure to harmful content. Identity theft through the internet has become one of the main concerns in cyberspace, with teenagers being one of the most vulnerable risk groups. Adv. Dr. Limor Ezioni, dean of law at the Academic College for Law and Science (Sha‘arei Mishpat), is currently writing a book about cyber law and regulation. She provides professional legal counsel and representation in both criminal and civil law for teenagers and adults. Cyber, Intelligence, and Security | Volume 2 | No. 3 | December 2018 3 LIMOR EZIONI | Identity THEFT AND EXposure to HARMFUL CONTENT 4 Identity theft and the use of false identities are, in many cases, aimed at slander and shaming campaigns, which are liable to have severe consequences for the teenagers whose identities were stolen, by affecting their future and their development. In addition to identity theft, children and teenagers are exposed to harmful content. Prolonged exposure to such content affects their social development, augments their violent inclinations, and is also liable to lead to the formation of distorted models of interpersonal relationships. The information revolution, particularly digital communications on the internet, is based on leveling the differences between societies and cultures | Volume 2 | No. 3 | December 2018 2 | No. 3 December | Volume for the lofty purposes of educational, economic, and social development. The freedom to use the internet was a phenomenon that presumably promised social and economic development even in the most inaccessible places. Globalization ensued, in which information, knowledge, intellectual property, and capital were transferred quickly and easily between different countries. At the same time, the information revolution caused people to be dependent on the ability to transmit large volumes of various types of information at Cyber, Intelligence, and Security Intelligence, Cyber, high speeds on diverse platforms.1 The focus on—and some would say the addiction to—the ability to share information has repressed the need for controls over the content of the information. Under the banner of “net neutrality,” the need and ability to exercise any control of content whatsoever has been suppressed. In theory, justice was on the side of the advocates of freedom who claimed and understood that this approach was likely to have desirable social effects even beyond the immediate benefits, such as those based on the desired externalities of net neutrality. In practice, however, the conditions justifying fair use of the internet do not exist in a place where the net neutrality model is in effect.2 As a result, an unconstrained space has been created that allows the transmission of harmful content of any type whatsoever to any user. In the absence of any control mechanisms by both the party distributing the information and the party receiving it, the internet has become a theater of lawlessness that victimizes mainly the weak. Teenagers and children are exposed to extremely harmful content, even against their will. The situation 1 M. F. Mahmood and N.

LIMOR EZIONI | Identity THEFT AND EXposure to HARMFUL CONTENT 5 has become intolerable; in many cases, even an internet search for innocent content leads to pop-up windows with pornographic content inviting the user to enter a pornographic website. The inconceivable availability of this content makes it difficult for parents to cope with the phenomenon. Thus, without having any system of control, children and teenagers have become unwilling consumers of pornography. As a weak and vulnerable population group, children and teenagers are subject to rapid manipulation and influence, creating a broad platform for another harmful use of the internet.

Karayanni* I. INTRODUCTION ¶1 For Israelis, religious affiliation means much more than an expression of freedom of conscience. Religious identity can also serve as a connecting factor between the self and a legal system.1 A person’s religion in Israel will serve to identify the governing law in a number of family law matters just as the place where a tort has been committed, the place of a contract, or the place of domicile can serve as factors identifying the governing law of a certain relationship. The most evident example of this is the law governing matters of marriage and divorce: Israeli citizens are governed by their religious community court and religious community law in such matters.2 This reality of having one’s personal law, instead * Vice-Dean and holder of the Edward S.

    The Legal Philosophies of Religious Zionism 1937-1967 Alexander Kaye Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2012 Alexander Kaye All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Legal Philosophies of Religious Zionism 1937-1967 Alexander Kaye This dissertation is an attempt to recover abandoned pathways in religious Zionist thought. It identifies a fundamental shift in the legal philosophy of religious Zionists, demonstrating that around the time of the establishment of the State of Israel, religious Zionists developed a new way of thinking about the relationship between law and the state. Before this shift took place, religious Zionist thinkers affiliated with a variety of legal and constitutional philosophies. As shown in chapter 1, the leaders of the religious kibbutz movement advocated a revolutionary, almost anarchic, approach to law. They (in theory, at least,) only accepted rules that emerged spontaneously from the spirit of their religious and national life, even if that meant departing from traditional halakha. Others had a more positive attitude towards law but, as chapter 2 shows, differed widely regarding the role of halakha in the constitution of the Jewish state. They covered a spectrum from, at one extreme, the call for a complete separation between religion and state to, on the other, the call a rabbinic oversight of all legislation. They all, however, were legal pluralists; they agreed that a single polity may have within it a plurality of legitimate sources of legal authority and that, even in a Jewish state, other kinds of legislation may hold authority alongside halakha.
