Social Media is basically one of the needs of a person today. It is a place where Netizens (Citizens using the Internet) can use their freedom of speech.
The Number One Social Media Site that is rampant today is “Facebook”.
Made by Mark Zuckerberg and launched on the year 2004. Many people then switched from Myspace to the new Social Media site called “Facebook”.
It is very useful for the means of sharing information, communicating to other people and the sharing of one’s opinion. But then, there is a disadvantage of internet trolls, hackers, bashers/keyboard warriors and, the most rampant, judgmental netizens. Thus, Proper Netiquette rules must be observed: (according to socialmediamore.com“)
- The Authenticity Rule.
- The Google Rule.
- The SPAM Rule.
- Spreading the Love Rule.
- The Personalize It Rule
- The Off-limits Rule.
- The Tag – You’re It Rule.
- The When in Doubt, Don’t Rule.
- The Send Button Rule.
- The Acronyms Rule.
These rules may not be that easy to understand, but to make things short, just always remember to “Think before you click.” because even though you have a freedom of speech, the freedom of others must also still be observed.
