Answer 1

The usage of inappropriate language on a website or game can result in short terms consequences. Typically games and websites don’t allow this as they want to be user friendly, thus they punish the people who disobey these rules. Punishments can include being banned/suspended from the website or game in general for a short period, or being unable to communicate on the website or game for a short period.

The spreading of secretive information about yourself or someone you know online. This can have long term affects since this information stays online forever, and is never truly deleted. Since this information is secretive, you also don’t want many people knowing about it. A consequence of this action is that many people will know about it, and can choose what they do with it.
