More than ever, it has become so important that one stays vigilant when surfing the internet. Gone are those days when you open anything you see on the internet. More especially, this is an information age, so you should arm yourself with every information you can lay your hands on. These days, one of the questions everyone surfing the internet should ask before opening that website or clicking on that URL should be if that site\/URL is safe or not. You might have at one time on the other come to the site called Dailymotion, but before you click, have you asked what the site is all about, is Daily motion safe?<\/p>\n
Dailymotion is a French social site and a serious competition for youtube. The site was officially launched on the 15th of March, 2005 by a company called Orange.<\/p>\n
Dailymotion just like Youtube is used for sharing videos online, you can call it a video-streaming website. It boasts of a huge library of videos for the viewing pleasure of their huge audience, and kind enough, they have made both viewing and uploading of video free of charge, however, downloading is restricted on the site. Also, Dailymotion takes time to create original contents courtesy of Dailymotion studios.<\/p>\n
The site keeps increasing on a daily basis, as a matter of fact, as of 2012 they were already getting a total of about 115 million visitors on the site monthly and is seen as one of the second largest online video streaming platforms after Youtube, and 31st biggest website on the internet. However, they are not free from copyright issues. As a result of copyright infringement, a few countries have denied their people access to it. Some of the countries that still allow access to it are: the United Kingdom, Unites States, Australia, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, and a few others.<\/p>\n
For many countries to place a ban on the site shows that all is not well with it. So if you are hoping for a positive answer, then I’m sorry to disappoint you.<\/p>\n
First, Dailymotion allows users to upload all manner of contents that are offensive, ranging from adult contents containing nude, violent or sex scenes, also contents that are so religious sensitive. These contents are definitely not suitable for children and also to some adults that might find it offensive.\u00a0For the fact that users are given the free will to upload on the website without censor, you should all manner of contents<\/p>\n
However, they have a feature called Age Gate. This feature allows a user to choose whether to browse without seeing those inappropriate content or not. So by default, this feature is always activated, and when it’s on you do not get to see the adult contents. You can be able to deactivate it on the homepage.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, malware attacks are very common on the site. They allow ads from third parties, and most times these ads come with some hidden malicious codes. The safety of your browser or even your computer is not guaranteed when you are on the site. This is so serious that some antivirus software and browsers have flagged it as a dangerous site, so people can stay away from it.<\/p>\n
Also if you have an account with Dailymotion, you stand a risk of exposing your private information that you have on the site. It’s not as if they will deliberately share your information with anyone, but the site could easily be hacked and the hackers will have access to that information that is supposed to be private.<\/p>\n
