It is great to have you on my second article for Online.IO. It is a good project that deserves your investment if you really care about your safety on the internet. I would promote Online.IO anytime and any day because internet users deserve to be protected and enough of the exploit of internet users. If we can’t defeat their algorithm at least we can protect ourselves through appropriate channel of enlightenment and user safer platform like Online.io to protect our privacy and data.

Overview of internet and the state of its safety for users

The internet has been a source of advancement and a tool to connect the world. Its merits are numerous to mention as it has advanced beyond the original purpose for which it was first developed by the US government. Internet in simple term, it is a network of computers that are interconnected globally using a Transmission Control Protocol or Internet Protocol. User access the internet using their web browsers to request information from the World Wide Web.

The advent of internet nurtured the growth and fruition of many startups like Facebook, Uber, AirBnB, etc. It helped in creating the needed visibility and users to join the platforms. These startups companies and other businesses including website operator have made so much fortune using the internet to reach a global audience with their products and services. It is quite disappointing learn that internet is no longer safe as it were 20 years ago. I remember browsing without any popups or even where there is an ad it wasn’t that aggressive and annoying compared to what we currently have today.

Let’s take a look at safety of internet under three safety problems dominating the technology

Adverts: For every 10 websites a user opens 9 if not all contain ads placed at strategic sections of the page. Sometimes it comes between a posts blending to be part of the post. Some have annoying pop-ups with no close button if you have been quite observant of recent. Some pop-ups close buttons are designed to perfectly bling with the window to remain undetectable. Some of these ads are scam in nature. Internet users can no longer surf the internet without ads campaign spoiling their fun. In fact there are adware designed to infect the user’s computer and steal personal data from their computers. Information such as the geographical location, IP address, saved accounts and password information on the browser.

Virus: The internet has been so vulnerable that hacker can embed virus on webpages and create links with the virus and send to an unsuspecting internet user. As if that is not enough, some are extreme as to send an auto JavaScript virus which links up with your CPU power and is used to mine cryptocurrency without users consent. Virus and malware are undesired in any webpage as they are tools to infect computers, exploit and steal from innocent internet users. We cannot forget to soon about Ransomware virus that infected millions of internet users’ computers with top big organizations.

Tracking: This is a silent monitoring of internet users activities on the internet such as site mostly visited, the type of information usually search for on the search engine and saved form data. These tracker is initiated through cookies which the internet user accepts while opening a page. Tracking information is used to profile an internet user and the final profile is sold to top brand at very high rate who use it for marketing and advertising.

This is the reason why Online.IO have developed a platform to mitigate the above challenges and prevent the experience of Cambridge Analytica and Facebook where millions of Facebook users’ data were leaked and sold out to companies and politicians.

The Safety Solution offered by Online.io using their blockchain platform

Online.io safety solution is a decentralized blockchain ecosystem built of privacy protection, ad free web loading, secured browsing and a trustworthy community comprised of safe websites. Online.io implements these solution on their platform by allowing internet users and website operator register on their platform. The Online mobile and desktop applications have ad blockers, anti-tracking scripts and antimalware/antivirus to protect internet users. Website operator create account on the platform and upload their website. Internet users browse using Online.io platform and earn OIO token for time sent on a website per session and total time in a day. The users earn tokens which is transferred to their wallet and can be exchanged for fiat currency or used to purchase other products and services on the platform. The website operators are not left out as users are required to rate the websites and the value of the rating is added to as token to their wallet. With this solution, internet is made safer and website operators are compelled to follow an organic way of generating revenue for the website instead of use of unethical and annoying ads.

Online Token Model and its sale

For the smooth operation of this technology, Online have developed three token mode to be used

Online Ethereum Token (OIO): This is the key token on the platform which web operators to acquire and mine through proof of stake and proof of online algorithms.
