WHAT IS A NETIZEN?
v A netizen is someone who uses the internet. Most of these
people who we call netizens are millennials or generation y, but, by simply
searching something using the internet you have simply become a netizen.
v There are also responsibilities you have as a netizen because
the internet is a powerful weapon or tool that can be used against another
netizen.
TIPS
ON HOW TO BECOME A RESPONSIBLE NETIZEN
ü
BE
AWARE OF WHAT YOU POST ONLINE
o
by simply posting something can affect yours or
other people's lives that's why as a netizen you should be aware of what you
post online
ü
DO NOT ENGAGE IN CYBER BULLYING AND OTHER
INTERNET CRIMES
o
bullying is against the law and can make a huge
impact on a person's life some even consider committing suicide just to escape
bullying.
ü
READ BEYOND THE HEADLINE
o
Before sharing stories on social media, make
sure to check if the source is reliable and if the information can be backed up
with evidence. Another important response is to check the date and make sure
the post is not outdated.
ü
REDUCE THE NOISE. DO NOT SHARE UNVERIFIED
REPORTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
o
Social media can easily get flooded in times of
emergencies. Help reduce the noise by not spreading unverified information on
social media – especially those that do nothing but provoke fear in the
community.
ü MAKE YOURSELF GOOD
ONLINE
o
For
most of us there aren't too many ways of making yourself look silly in front of
hundreds of people, but sending a badly spelled, grammatically incorrect,
thoughtlessly put together e-mail message is one.
Always
remember that the internet is a powerful tool and should not be abused and also
remember to never criticize someone using the internet and to think before you
click.
