1.6 SOCIAL MEDIA ETIQUETTES

              Etiquette refers to the conventional rules of social behaviour, outlining appropriate conduct within a specific
              group, community, or occasion. Social media etiquette involves guidelines that individuals should follow to
              maintain their online reputation. Essentially, it encompasses a set of online behaviour standards designed
              to promote respectful interactions. The primary aim of netiquette—online manners—is to treat others with
              respect while being mindful of intellectual property rights and  their  implications. Personal information,
              images, or videos of others should never be shared without consent or proper credit where due.



                                                                            THINK!!

                                                                          H =  is it Helpful?
                                                                           I  =  is it Inspiring?
                                                                          N =  is it Nice?

                                                                          K =  is it Kind?






              Social Media Etiquettes for Students

              Some social media etiquettes that student should follow are:
                Protect Your Privacy: Never share personal information online, including passwords, phone numbers,
                 home addresses, or email addresses. Disable location-sharing features when posting. When signing up
                 for social networking platforms, review their privacy settings and adjust who can see your posts, tag or
                 mention you, and send private messages. Use a strong password that does not include personal details
                 such as your birth date or phone number, and never use the same password across multiple accounts.
                 Enable two-step verification whenever possible.
                Do Not Connect with Strangers: Only accept connection requests from people you know in real life.
                 Avoid interacting with strangers online to protect your safety and privacy.

                Respect People’s Privacy: Treat others’ privacy with the same care you expect for your own. Always ask
                 for permission before sharing someone else’s photos or videos. Avoid posting or commenting on personal
                 details such as phone numbers, addresses, or passwords.

                Be Careful About What You Share: Never share personal or confidential information online, including full
                 names, phone numbers, home or school addresses, and birth dates. Everything posted online is permanent,
                 and even deleted content may still be accessible.
                Avoid Cyberbullying: Online communication can sometimes be harsher than face-to-face interactions.
                 Harassing, teasing, or insulting others on social media is considered cyberbullying and is a punishable
                 offence under cyber laws. Always engage respectfully and avoid any form of online bullying.
                Avoid Spamming: Do not repeatedly send multiple messages to your friends in a short time. Be patient
                 and allow them time to respond.
                Think Before You Post: Be mindful of what you share online. Carefully consider your words and images
                 before posting. If something appears offensive, inappropriate, or rude, avoid sharing it altogether.
