Question

which risks are part of the online environment?
select all that apply.
□ people online often act nicer than in real life.
□ people may lie about their identity or motives.
□ people cannot protect their privacy online.
□ people may spread bad information.

Explanation:

• Acting nicer online is not a risk, it is a positive or neutral behavior.
• Falsifying identity/motives is a common online risk, as it enables deception and harm.
• The statement "People cannot protect their privacy online" is absolute; while online privacy is vulnerable, there are tools and practices to protect it, so this is not a valid risk statement.
• Spreading harmful or false information (bad information) is a well-documented online risk that can cause harm to individuals or groups.

Answer:

B. People may lie about their identity or motives.
D. People may spread bad information.
