Practise Appropriate Internet Behaviour


Practicing appropriate internet behavior, also known as digital etiquette or
netiquette, is crucial for maintaining a positive and respectful online environment.
Here are some guidelines to follow:

1.Be respectful:
Treat others online with the same respect and kindness you would in person.
Avoid offensive language, insults, or derogatory remarks.
2.Think before you post:
Remember that once something is online, it's challenging to completely remove
it. Be cautious about sharing sensitive or private information.
3.Use proper language and tone:
Avoid typing in all caps (which is considered shouting) and using excessive
exclamation points. Use a friendly and appropriate tone in your interactions.
4.Be mindful of others' opinions:
People have diverse perspectives and beliefs. Engage in discussions with an open
mind and avoid being confrontational when disagreements arise.
5.Don't spam:
Avoid excessive self-promotion or sending unsolicited messages to others.
Respect their space and privacy.
6.Respect intellectual property:
Always give credit to the original creators of content you share, such as images,
articles, or videos.
7.Be cautious with humor and sarcasm:
Jokes and sarcasm can be easily misinterpreted online. Use emoticons or explicit
statements to indicate your intent if necessary.
