Schramm, Michal ; Doucek, Petr (advisor) ; Sokolovský, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis provides an overview of possibilities, potential risks and threats on the Internet to citizens as its users, in scope of valid Slovak legislative. The Internet as such presents a specific source of information. It is so specific that in order to get any information about a particular thing one does not need to spend hours of his/her free time, but just to log onto the network and find the information in a much shorter time. The laws and regulations for using the Internet are the same as for other information sources. For example, advertising of tobacco products or weapons is prohibited. Hence it is impossible to carry out any illegal activity. The Internet is supervised by the Ministry of Information Posts and Telecommunications of Slovakian republic as well as other various interest groups like the "People Against Racism", dealing with the breach of laws or seeking to help victims in a way of consultancies. In my bachelor thesis I have provided a list of laws and actions that may not to be carried out on the Internet within legal systems of some countries, particularly within that of the Slovak Republic. In the thesis there are also present various statistics on number of Internet users in Slovakia and from its development several years ago as well as technologies which were used in the past in comparison to what today is used for connecting to the Internet. The second chapter is dedicated to the history of the Internet, how it has evolved, for what purpose etc. In addition differences in prices of Internet providers in Slovakia compared to previous years are released too. In the end of this work a list of potential threats to the internet environment is mentioned -from impending threats by psychologically disturbed individuals or hackers to the every day threats casual users are exposed to.
