56. Digital citizenship
Respect others. Someone might annoy you, but
that's no reason to publicly criticise them.

57. Digital citizenshipDigital citizenship
Treat others as you'd like to be treated.
How would you feel if someone called
you an offensive name, or spread
exaggerations or lies about you?

58. Digital citizenshipDigital citizenship
If your grandmother would
find it offensive or inappropriate,
then don't publish it. This
is a great general guide
to life as well. If Grandma
would be disappointed in
what you publish, then the
odds are that other people will be too.

59. Digital citizenship
Ask permission before publishing photos of
friends. They might not want to be plastered all
over your Facebook page or Instagram account.
Respect their views.

60. Digital citizenship
If you are unhappy posing for a photo,
say so. You never know where it might
end up. It's much easier to ask for your
photo not to be taken than to have to
try to have it deleted from cameras,
phone and the internet.

61. Digital citizenship
There are real-life consequences to what you do,
say and share online. This includes reposting on
tumblr and retweeting on Twitter. Friendships
can break up; parents, schools and police can
get involved. In the case of hate pages, there
could be charges and/or court action.

Digital citizenship
Be aware of your own privacy and that of
others. If a friend is going overseas, or going
through a breakup, don't announce it to the
world on your Facebook timeline. They may not
want to share the details with anyone apart
from you. This also goes for you – are you sure
you really want to share the intimate details of
your latest disease with the world?
