Respect others privacy- Do not share other personal details and photos without their permission.
Watch what you say- Do not let personal problems and banter spill into the digital world. Sort out issues amicably in the real world than indulge in inflammatory and offensive comments online.
Think before you post-Whether it is a meme or something you wish to say think twice before you post it online as everything you post is for the world to see and leaves a digital footprint
Think before reposting-just because someone has shared something on their profile, you need not repost it. Always check the legitimacy of the information before you post it Social media is filled with fake news.
Be a sport-Don’t say anything inflammatory while playing multiplayer games online. Be a sport and accept defeat gracefully.
No ALL CAPS, please-Typing a sentence is ALL CAPS means you are shouting or yelling at someone. So whether it is social medias or an email remember never to use ALL CAPS.
Don’t spam-Do you like it if someone spams you with forwards or links to pages that they want you to like and support? No? The same applies to others as well Do not spam users.
