Media communicating via the Internet have become tools of evangelizing infl uence since the early 1990s. They became the subject of research for the author, in terms of  how well they are known to the Internet users depending on the degree of religiosity they declared (believers and regular users, believers and occasional practitioners, non-believers), which allowed to formulate pastoral postulates and conclusions. The survey included persons from a representative, nationwide sample (N = 1000) who  completed standardized CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview) questionnaire interviews and VIDI (Virtual Individual In-Depth Interviews – individual indepth interviews).  This is the fi rst such extensive research on Poland. According to the research, the knowledge and use of Christian media that communicate through the Internet, including the missionary ones, changes depending on the respondents’ declared degree of religiosity.

The evolution of digital advertising, which is aimed at a mass audience, to programmatic advertising, which is aimed at individual users depending on their profile, has raised concerns about the use of personal data and invasion of user privacy on the Internet. Concerned users install ad-blockers that prevent users from seeing ads and this has resulted in many companies using anti-ad-blockers. This study investigates the sociological variables that make users feel that advertising is annoying and then decide to use ad-blockers to avoid it. Our results provide useful information for companies to appropriately segment user profiles. To do this, data collected from Internet users (n = 19,973) about what makes online advertising annoying and why they decide to use ad-blockers are analyzed. First, the existing literature on the subject was reviewed and then the relevant sociological variables that influence users’ feelings about online advertising and the use of ad-blockers were investigated. This work contributes new information to the discussion about user privacy on the Internet. Some of the key findings suggest that Internet advertising can be very intrusive for many users and that all the variables investigated, except marital status and education, influence the users’ opinions. It was also found that all the variables in this study are important when a user decides to use an ad-blocker. A clear and inverse correlation between age and opinion about advertising as annoying could be seen, along with a clear difference of opinion due to gender. The results suggest that users without children use ad-blockers the least, while retirees and housewives use them the most.

Inspired by the work of Michel Foucault, this article explores the classificatory pairs used by 28 Internet users in four urban centres across Canada to describe their daily use of the Internet. The pairs—work/personal, reader/contributor, information/communication, and freedom/control—offer a snapshot of the everyday struggles over the subject positions and the social order that those wider discursive constructions of the Internet present to us. The struggles speak to respondents’ diffuse, yet ongoing, concerns with the increased commodification of Internet spaces. The article argues that there is a need to open up spaces for the critical consideration of our own roles, as Internet users, in the economy of the Internet.S’inspirant de l’oeuvre de Michel Foucault, cet article explore les classifications binaires utilisées par vingt-huit internautes dans quatre centres urbains d’une part à l’autre du Canada pour décrire leur emploi de l’internet au jour le jour. Ces classifications (travail / personnel, lecteur / contributeur, information / communication et liberté / contrôle), qu’on peut qualifier de constructions discursives, donnent un aperçu des luttes quotidiennes sur la position du sujet et sur l’ordre social menées par les internautes. Ces luttes reflètent les préoccupations diffuses mais soutenues des répondants à l’égard de la marchandisation croissante d’espaces internet. Cet article soutient qu’il existe un besoin de dégager des espaces pour la prise en compte critique de nos propres rôles en tant qu’internautes dans l’économie de l’internet.

Abstract In the past few years there has been a significant increase in Internet use. Undoubtedly, the Internet reveals new opportunities for its users, but it also hides serious dangers. It was found that the most frequent Internet users are people aged 14-24. In recent years there is a fall in the lower age limit. Therefore, children, as the most active users of the Internet, are also the most vulnerable to online dangers. The subject of this research is precisely those online dangers, which threaten children in particular. They affect different social relationships, but each of them affects the proper development of children. The aim of the research is to inform the public and its individual citizens about the existing dangers on the Internet. It turns out that the most secure form of prevention here is namely awareness and training. By outlining existing dangers on the Internet and presenting them to the public, effective ways to avoid them could be sought. In this way, children can be protected from internet encroachments

Three hypotheses was formulated, assuming that: (1) Internet users represent varying levels and nature of the information security culture, (2) there is a close relationship between Internet users’ information security culture and their online activity, and (3) the information security culture of Internet users can be improved in the education process. All hypotheses were positively verified. This verification was based on the method of analyzing the literature on the subject and the available statistical data as well as the method of synthesis. The author examined the information security culture elements regarding the Internet users. The quoted examples allowed a conclusion the level and character of the Internauts’ information security culture is varying and related to their activities in the cyberspace.

The number of Internet users searching for health-related issues increases significantly every year. The aim of this study was to investigate whether and how the information about health and disease obtained from the Internet by patients influenced them and how different e-health services can affect the patients’ choice of the doctor. The research was based on a national survey conducted among 1000 Polish adults. The study was carried out with the use of the computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI). The study showed that e-health facilities are increasingly affecting the patient’s choice of doctor. Among the highest rated factors, the possibility of setting the date of appointment online and practice’s own website were indicated. Information on health and disease obtained from the Internet influenced respondents in many areas. Almost half of health Internet users (HI-users) wanted to change their diet and increase healthy physical activity under the influence of health information obtained online. Regarding health decision making, health information obtained from the Internet caused 45% of HI-users to make an appointment to see a doctor, and 40% of them had questions concerning diagnosis and treatment. Information on health and disease obtained from the Internet undoubtedly affects patient behaviour and health decisions they make.

The subject matter of the paper lies on the borderline of two important social problems i.e. Internet addiction and suicide. The problem of suicide is still treated as a social taboo in contemporary world. Those who have attempted to kill themselves as well as their families are discriminated and ill-treated by their immediate environment and driven into inferiority complex. Every so often the only option left to such people is the Internet that offers an attentive ear and consolation because the access to professional help in the real world may be limited in a given place and in a given moment. On the Internet one may talk and exchange information on any topic at any time of night and day. The Internet is a cheap and widely available platform offering websites, chat rooms, forums and support groups for people experiencing the same problems. It should be emphasized however, that there are dark corners on the Internet which should not be visited by wide audiences. Some online contents are just not well-adjusted to the development age of young Internet users. This paper is a discussion of a metaphoric and literal aspect of suicide on the Internet and a call for more scientific research, educational campaigns and psychoprophylaxis related to the subject matter of suicide and self-destruction. The author emphasizes the necessity to raise awareness to the issue of suicide which is still a social taboo and subject to social myths. Although many specialist facilities, associations and institutions are already involved in addressing the problem, the number of suicide attempts has not been reduced mainly because the activities undertaken are scattered and badly coordinated. The effects of these efforts are not satisfactory neither for theoreticians nor for practitioners.

Background: Previous studies have shown that suicide-related Internet use can have both negative and positive psychological effects. Aims: This study examined the effect of suicide-related Internet use on users’ suicidal ideation, depression/anxiety tendency, and loneliness. Method: A two-wave panel study of 850 Internet users was conducted via the Internet. Results: Suicide-related Internet use (e.g., browsing websites about suicide methods) had negative effects on suicidal ideation and depression/anxiety tendency. No forms of suicide-related Internet use, even those that would generally be considered positive, were found to decrease users’ suicidal ideation. In addition, our results suggest that the greater the suicidal ideation and feelings of depression and loneliness of Internet users, the more they used the Internet. Conclusion: Since suicide-related Internet use can adversely influence the mental health of young adults, it is necessary to take measures to reduce their exposure to such information.
