outlines five things to
ask before you post
 1. What do I look like?
Always remember that the way you look like in what
you share and your intention for sharing it is not always
perceived the way you originally intended it to be.
 2. Is this ink permanent?
Anything you share online is beyond your control. Even
if you delete it, still, you can never tell how many have
copied or downloaded it and how many are sharing it.
3. Am I giving away too much?
Keep your identity as private as you could. Don’t reveal
too much of your personal information. It might be
used to put you down.
4. Would I want this shared about me?
Think twice before you share something that involves
other people. Always ask permission from them if
you're going to share, say, for example, a funny picture
with them
5. Does it pass the Billboard Test?
Think twice before sharing something online. Reflect:
whether you would be happy to see it on a billboard –
where the rest of your family, school, and community
could see it.
You are making a picture of who you
are out of your digital footprints.
Make sure it’s accurate. To
facilitate this, Internet Society has
these tips:
 1. Learn The Basics:
What’s A Digital Footprint?
All the stuff you leave behind as you use the Internet –
your app use, comments, email records, posts, and
Skype calls, are parts of your online history – your
digital footprints.
Know Why Should You Manage Your
Digital Footprint.
You must understand what you’re leaving behind when
you visit a website because the web is listening every
time you use it! So, make no mistake about it.
 2. Watch Online Tutorials
To safeguard your online identity, there are online
tutorials that can best help you not only to learn your
digital footprints but also to help you make the right
choices.
10 Basic Rules of
Netiquette
HARTNEY ( 2020 )
1. Make Real People a Priority
The most irritating situation is when during your
conversation, one is so hooked up in his/her gadgets.
Remember the rule in the face to face communication.
 2. Use Respectful Language
Watch out for foul language! Be respectful at all times.
It’s not just what you say but also how you say it -
either take the trouble to use the shift key for capital
letters, or write in all lower case, but don't use caps
lock.
 3. Share With Discretion
Always be on guard by not sharing unpleasant
materials - drug use pictures, drunk pictures, naked
sexy pictures, or unedited home video.
 4. Don't Exclude Others
Be careful with online jokes. If you have a funny
comment on your post involving somebody else, send
that comment in private. Don’t embarrass the person in
a bigger group with your obscure comment.
 5. Choose Friends Wisely
Be careful with sending a friend request. Be sure you
know the person whom you want to be friends within
social media very closely. If you don’t want to be in
touch with someone, don’t add them.
 6. Don't Email Large Files
Post large files to your own space and send people a
link. Don't attach it to an email so to avoid crashing
their server or depleting their inbox quota.
 7. Respect People's Privacy
Avoid sharing the information sent to you without
checking with the original sender. Use BCC (blind
carbon copy) rather than CC (carbon copy) if you are
sending it out to more than one person.
8. Fact Check Before Reposting
You might be too overwhelmed in sharing something
thinking you have done a wonderful thing to people
with the information that you have gathered, ensuring
it’s beneficial just to be bashed for sharing fake news.
9. Respond to Emails Promptly
No one can stop you from ignoring and deleting crazy
stuff, spam, and unsolicited messages but for a
message coming from someone you have given your
email address to, you are in a position to have the
courtesy of replying their messages.
10. Update Online Information
Keep your website up to date. It is a way of making
people aware of your availability. Don’t give them the
idea that you are available when, in fact, you are not. If
you can’t do it, take it down.
Thank you!
