Online etiquette has become important part of our social and working live
These are the inappropriate digital conduct and the effects on society
People have the right to express their
views however there are views that are inappropriate. A person is not allowed
to post views or messages that are
Racist, vulgar, discriminatory, or of violent nature. When that is done
this causes a lot of tension as the digital space is accessed by all and
therefore one person opinion might be seen to be representing the majority
therefore causes unnecessary tensions or bring the persons image into
disrepute. It is always advisable to think through what you put on the internet
as it will forever be linked to your name and might also damage your
reputation.
Digital etiquette, or netiquette as it is
sometimes referred to, is a basic set of rules pertaining to behaviour that
needs to be followed to ensure the Internet is better for all users.
Don't Type in caps- typing in caps in
considered shouting which people could take offence to it. Society is less
likely to respond to your post if they feel like you are being rude.
Don't use offensive language- You never
know who is going to be reading your posts so avoid using language which is
deemed as offensive or inappropriate. If society is offended by your language
they are less likely to share or respond to your post.
Don't distribute illegal activity- Just
because you are online this does not mean you are allowed to post or sell
whatever you want. It is important to stay within the rules of the law.
Don't expect a response right away- We live
in a fast paced and busy world which means that people are not always available
to reply to our posts. By rushing a response out of someone you are less likely
to get back a response you are looking for.
Don't steal other peoples identity-
Stealing someone's identity is considered fraud in society. This is looked down
upon hugely and people take a huge offense to this!
