Trustworthiness of websites

Have you ever thought about who publishes a web page and who is responsible for its content?

These questions are often difficult to answer with final certainty. A lot of information appears anonymous and unchecked on the internet. The technically easy automatic forwarding to other web servers also makes it difficult for you to keep control.

New technologies are constantly being developed to present content in a more attractive, faster and more dynamic way.

Methods are also being developed to analyze your surfing behavior. Invisibly, programs are running that are designed to observe, influence or even mislead you as you work on the Internet.

Attention

This is how to behave properly:

  • Do your research only in trustworthy sources.
  • Remain critical of information you find on the Internet.
  • Always ask yourself who is responsible for the content and whether you can trust this person.
  • Surf consciously and consider every “click”.
  • Save information only from trusted sources, if possible.
  • Do not download programs to your work computer from the Internet.
