This document provides five rules of reputation management on the internet according to Bennet Kelley, founder of the Internet Law Center. The rules are: 1) The internet protects copyrights more than people. 2) What you don't know can hurt you so be careful about information online. 3) Be careful of cyber threats and report credible threats. 4) Think before acting to avoid negative streisand effects. 5) Address negative content through positive engagement and search engine optimization. The document also outlines Kelley's background and practice areas of internet law.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

THE INTERNET’S GET OUT OF JAIL CARD or MAGNA CARTA?

•(2) to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the Internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal or State regulation. . .

21. Court rejected claim that Yelp practices were extortion since that requires that litigant have “a pre- existing right to be free from the threatened harm, or that the defendant had no right to seek payment for the service offered.” Yelp’s actions were not a “wrongful use of economic fear”. Boris Y. Levitt, et al. v. Yelp Inc., No. 11-17676, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 17079 (9th Cir. Sept. 2, 2014)
Fact that Yelp created star rating based on reviews, did not “transform an interactive computer service into a developer of the underlying misinformation.” Kimzey v. Yelp Inc., 2014 WL 1805551 (W.D. Wash. May 7, 2014).
Cal. Court of Appeal judge reversed a SLAPP dismissal of a False Advertising action based on Yelp’s claims that each review “passed through a ‘filter’ that gave consumers the most trusted reviews.” Demetriades v Yelp!, 2014 WL 3661491 (Cal. App. Ct. July 24, 2014).
