2. Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life:
- Just because someone is conversing or talking online, there isn’t a lower standard of
ethics or personal behavior – it’s the same
- Some people are finding themselves being sued for what they have said online
- If you use shareware like music or video downloading sites, then pay for it
- If you’re tempted to do something that’s illegal in cyberspace, chances are it’s also bad
netiquette
8. Respect other people’s privacy and keep your own confidential information offline
- You do not have the right to share anyone’s personal information with others online
including email addresses, address, school, family information (use blind emails when
sending to more than one person – follow the instructions in the help section)
- For safety reasons, you need to keep your own information confidential; visit the privacy
settings on all the sites you share information, pictures, videos with others (put on only
friends)
- If someone asks for your information, including banking information, do not give it
- There are privacy laws in Canada that you must respect; you can end up losing your job
if you don’t
