Digital Civility Definition:



Digital Civility can be defined as claiming and caring for one’s identity, needs and beliefs without degrading someone else’s in the process. It is online behavior that "is about more than just politeness, although politeness is a necessary first step. It is about disagreeing without disrespect, seeking common ground as a starting point for dialogue about differences, listening past one’s preconceptions, and teaching others to do the same" (Institute for Civility in Government).
