Rule 1: Courtesy and
Respect
Just because the internet gives you
anonymity online, doesnt mean its
okay to treat people differently than
you would if you were face to face with
them
Show common courtesy and respect
online, just like you would in person
Dont be a cyber bully, and do your
part to prevent it
Rule 2: Watch what you post
online
Never post anything you wouldnt want
your Mom to see
Anyone can access your information some
how, some way, once it hits the internet.

nature, or photos of you with
alcohol/drugs.
