Mass conscience The second cyber threat is the use of social networks to manipulate the masses. During the Second World War airplanes were used to drop propaganda leaflets over enemy territory – and the same is already happening with social networks. For example, recently a similar incident occurred in China, where local blogs spread information about the tanks and shooting in Beijing, which was in fact false. But if such information is posted by someone of high authority and somewhere where millions can read it, it may create panic.
Web kids The third threat is the internet generation’s reluctance to engage in politics. Today's children are growing up in a digital world, but at some point they will become adults – and will have to vote. And if there's no online voting system, these kids won't physically go anywhere to vote, they'll refuse. The whole democratic system could collapse then – the gap between parents and children will get much wider, it will become political, with solely the parents being involved in politics.
