Manners or Etiquettes are an indispensable part of human life, and each one of us should try to become a good example in our community to make this world a better place to live. As much as etiquettes are important in our offline lives, same is essential for our online lives.

Whether we do a quick chat with a friend over Facebook or wish #happybirthday to a dear one on Instagram, it is crucial to maintain our digital manners. Let’s have a look at some netiquettes that we should follow on the web:

Show respect for each and everyone. Posting rude comments, gossips, and ideas for someone will only lower down your prestige. So watch your language whenever you post anything.

You might have seen inappropriate content in the form of images, fake profiles on social media, etc. You should always report such content as these can be malicious programs that can cause harm to you and others.

At times, we post embarrassing pictures of someone just for the sake of having fun. But you should understand the fact that such pranks can put a negative impact on others.

Many of us share too much information about our personal lives on the internet. This should be avoided because this makes it easy for hackers to steal your identity.

One should share only true information over the internet. Try to confirm the facts from reliable sources before you hit the ‘share’ button.

It is crucial for all internet users to stay abreast of internet security news , hacks and tips so as to ensure maximum safety from cyber threats.

Spamming others with irrelevant email messages or through another medium on the internet should not be done. This is because receiving unwanted messages is irritating for everyone.

Stealing photos of others for your personal usage is a cybercrime and should be avoided. You might get into trouble for copyright issues.

Following these netiquettes will keep your fellow online users happy and makes the online experience more enjoyable for each and everyone.
