Understanding Florida’s Cyber Regulations
As a state that embodies the phrase “sunshine, lollipops and rainbows”, Florida has a reputation for being a place where anything is possible. However, its strong stance towards cyber regulations helps to make it a safe place, at least from a regulatory standpoint. Florida’s relatively robust cyber laws makes the process of ensuring the security of an online environment easier, especially for those who are in the business of design.
One such group is the developers of themes used on web platforms like WordPress. Specifically, Parallax Pro is one such theme designer that has been able to incorporate elements of safety into its product offering. By focusing on design, Parallax Pro also allows its users to make their sites more secure.
Florida’s anti-cyberstalking provisions are meant to prevent individuals from harassing or stalking individuals using a digital medium. Crimes (and particularly, cyber crimes against persons) are taken very seriously in the state of Florida. If you ever find yourself being subjected to repeated harassment over an online outlet, you may be able to seek a “cyber protection order” under the comprehensive Florida cyberstalking laws of the state.
Incorporating these provisions into your website design enables you to educate yourself about your rights, and create a theme that your users can understand enough to know their rights. Particularly, the laws are meant to prevent sending unwanted electronic communications. Theme designers would be well-served to establish separate policies and procedures to enable this feature easily for websites that fall under the purview of these laws.
The first step is to ensure that you have appropriate background images that give you the ability to obscure your privacy. This not only applies to people’s images, but also personal data of any and all types. For example, if a person is exposed on the internet and their IP address is visible, this could expose them to cyberstalking if their information is not shielded by the knowledge of their own rights under this law. Websites that are enabled to protect visitors about this exposure are much more popular because they give people a sense of security and freedom.
Furthermore, social sharing options are important to ensure that you can protect the privacy of users’ personal data. For example, if one user shares another’s image, the person who uploaded it could either permit such sharing, or disallow it. Some designers will use murals or other copyright violations to note the appeal of their designs; others will ensure that they place a specific emphasis on protecting the privacy of the images they select and incorporate into their themes.
If you’re looking to create an online platform where users can feel secure in their knowledge of their rights, Parallax Pro can enable this for designers everywhere.
