THE NETIQUETTE
and the
COMPUTER ETHICS
1 DEFINITION OF
NETIQUETTE
*
WHAT DOES NETIQUETTE MEAN?
Netiquette is a made-up word from the words "net" and "etiquette."
Netiquette describes the rules of conduct for respectful and
appropriate communication on the internet. In general, netiquette is
the set of professional and social etiquettes practiced and advocated
in electronic communication over any computer network. Common
guidelines include being courteous and precise and avoiding
cyberbullying. Netiquette also dictates that users should obey
copyright laws and avoid overusing emoticons.
2
BASIC RULES
OF NETIQUETTE
*
1. Make Real
People a
Priority
Nothing is more irritating than trying to
have a conversation with someone
who is engrossed in their phone, tablet,
or another electronic device. This is
especially important if the other
person is your date, partner, or child. If
you are expecting an important call,
email, or text, let the person you are
with know upfront and apologize for
the interruption.
*
2. Use
Respectful
Language
If you don’t respect people,
then people won’t respect
you. So, it is very important to
use respectful language in the
real world as well as in the
virtual social world.
*
3. Share With
Discretion
Don’t upload naked pictures or post drunk
pictures, drug use pictures, or other
statements about your private life online
by mistake, or normally, never make this
mistake in your life. If you do so,
oversharing can lead to identity theft.Your
social media posts can be used by
scammers to steal your identity and
private information. Be discreet with any
information that can be used as an answer
to security questions on your private
accounts.
*
4. Don’t
Exclude
Others
When you are in public with lots
of people and you feel left out,
that feeling can lead to lots of
negative emotions and a sense of
lost control. So, never act like
this with others; try to socialize
and communicate with everyone.
*
5. Choose
Friends
Wisely
Nowadays, it is very different to
find a real, true friend, especially
in this era of social media. And it
can be intimidating for both if
you delete someone from your
friend list on social media. So
choose your friends wisely.
*
6. Respect
People's
Privacy
Don’t share people’s information
without their permission. If you are
forwarding an email message, use BCC
(blind carbon copy) rather than CC
(carbon copy) when sending it to more
than one person. This helps protect
the privacy of all the other email
recipients. You should always respect
people’s privacy.
*
7. Fact Check
Before
Reposting
This rule is the most crucial
one. You should always check
your post before posting it.
Don’t spread rumors or fake
messages over social media; it
can lead to various serious
problems.
*
8. Don’t
Spam
The term “spam” refers to the receipt of any
unwanted message. In the online world,
spamming can refer to an unwanted email,
text, or social media message. At times, these
messages contain viruses that might harm
digital devices. Never open messages, click on
links, or download attachments from
unfamiliar sources. If the message you receive
looks suspicious, contact the sender by other
means to ensure it’s them and not a
cybercriminal.
*
9. Respond to
Emails and
Texts
Promptly
By all means, ignore and delete spam,
unsolicited messages, and crazy stuff.
You don't owe anyone a response if they
are sending you something you didn't ask
for in advance. Otherwise, have the
courtesy to reply to a message within a
few days, especially if that message is
from family or friends. If it’s going to take
longer, that's okay. Just tell them that so
they know and aren't waiting for your
reply.
*
10. Update
Online
Information
Don't leave inaccurate information online
just because you can't be bothered to
update your social media profile or, if you
own a business, your company's website.
Following this netiquette guideline is even
more important if you're actively looking for
a job online. If prospective employers find
outdated information on your professional
networking page, they might assume that
you don't care enough about getting work.

thing we can do is to learn about cyberbullying and be a
