- Abstract
- Purpose: The purpose of writing this article was to argue that surfing dark, often unencrypted websites on the Internet disturbs their users' ontological sense of security. These sites, which only appear to be user-friendly on the surface, hide dark and dangerous content, the viewing of which often disturbs the value system, which may manifest itself in the destruction of personality, or in extreme cases, undermine the sense of human being. Design/methodology/approach: The primary method of the research was a critical analysis of dark content and Internet content exemplifying the dark net. The main method was accompanied by a case-study method of selected websites, e.g. JBZD, which provides videos with hard content in addition to other, also educational, content. This is a very popular website among young people on the Polish Internet, which includes the hashtag "hard" with the help of suggested bookmarks. Findings: Watching films saturated with brutality, frequently seeing scenes of death, inflicted in the most cruel way, has a destructive effect on a person. Frequent exposure to the dark part of the Internet, commonly known as the dark web, may contribute to the breakdown of the hierarchy of needs and, as a result, to the disintegration of personality, especially in children and adolescents, as it gives rise to states of apathy, atrophy of feelings and meaning. Originality/value: The novelty of the article manifests itself in the selection of the research topic, which has not yet been subject to a thorough comprehensive analysis, especially from the perspective of the ontological sense of security of youth.(original abstract)
