Answered by Examlex AI CopilotThe term "deviant cybercommunities" refers to online communities or groups that engage in activities or behaviors that are considered outside of societal norms or legal boundaries. These communities often form around shared interests or ideologies that are considered deviant or unconventional.
One example of a deviant cybercommunity is the dark web marketplace, where illegal goods and services are bought and sold anonymously. This community operates outside of the boundaries of traditional e-commerce and often facilitates the exchange of drugs, weapons, and stolen data.
Another example is online hate groups or extremist forums, where individuals gather to promote and spread hateful ideologies or plan and coordinate acts of violence. These communities often operate under the radar of law enforcement and use the anonymity of the internet to recruit and radicalize members.
Overall, deviant cybercommunities can pose significant challenges for law enforcement and society as a whole, as they can facilitate illegal activities and the spread of harmful ideologies.
Differentiate between cybercrime and cyberdeviance providing one hypothetical example of each.
(36) Answered by Examlex AI CopilotCybercrime and cyberdeviance are both related to illegal or unethical activities conducted through digital means, but they differ in their scope and severity.
Cybercrime refers to criminal activities that are carried out using computers or the internet. This can include hacking, identity theft, fraud, and spreading malware. One hypothetical example of cybercrime is a hacker gaining unauthorized access to a company's database and stealing sensitive customer information, such as credit card numbers and personal details.
On the other hand, cyberdeviance refers to behaviors that violate social norms or ethical standards in the online environment. This can include online harassment, cyberbullying, and spreading hate speech. One hypothetical example of cyberdeviance is an individual using social media to spread false rumors and defame someone's character, causing harm to their reputation and well-being.
In summary, cybercrime involves illegal activities with serious criminal implications, while cyberdeviance involves unethical behaviors that may not necessarily be criminal but still have negative impacts on individuals or society.
