Simply put, netiquette (pronounced netiquette) is etiquette or ethics in cyberspace.
According to KBBI, morals are procedures (customs, manners, etc.) in a civilized society for maintaining good relationships between people.
As a US-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) expert, Avigail Lev, it’s important to know and apply Internet etiquette so that online interactions can be positive and mutually respectful.
The basic rule of netiquette is not to do, say or write on the Internet what you would not do, say or write offline.
Here are at least 10 main rules of internet etiquette reported by verywellmind.com:
1. Make real people a priority
There is nothing more annoying than communicating with someone who is using their phone, tablet or other electronic device.
This is known as phubbing. Phubbing is the behavior of a person who is engrossed in dealing with other people in gadgets
Especially when you are alone with your partner, your parents or your children.
Constantly checking Instagram or sending messages to other people through messaging apps makes it seem like you don’t care about the people around you.
If someone tries to talk to you while you’re using a device, stop what you’re doing and face them.
Anything that happens in the online world can generally wait.
2. Use polite language
Don’t intentionally name people, don’t criticize them, or express offensive opinions.
If you don’t dare or don’t want to deliver it directly in the real world, then don’t do it on the internet.
Online activities leave digital footprints that are difficult to erase.
Information and content shared online can be saved, archived or shared by others, even if you later delete it.
What you post online is permanent and can be used against you.
3. Share wisely
Be careful not to post too much about yourself online.
Do not post graphic images, images of alcohol or drug use, or any other information about your personal life online.
