    The Importance of Online Etiquette

                      Online etiquette refers to the set of rules and guidelines that help us interact with
                      others respectfully on the Internet. The importance of online etiquette includes:

                          Respecting others: Treating people  with  kindness  and respect, just  like  you
                           would in person, helps create a positive online environment.

                          Maintaining privacy: Being mindful of what you share and respecting others'

                           privacy, helps protect everyone’s personal information.

                          Avoiding  harmful  behaviour: By  not engaging  in negative  actions  such as
                           cyberbullying or spreading rumours, you help keep the Internet safe and friendly.

                          Building positive relationships: Good online etiquette helps you form strong,
                           positive connections with others and avoid misunderstandings.

                          Setting a good example: By  practising  online  etiquette,  you  set  a positive

                           example for others, especially younger users, encouraging them to follow suit.

                      Practising good online etiquette not only makes the Internet a better place but also
                      ensures that your digital reputation remains strong and positive.
