Guidelines to Remember as an

1. Observe politeness when
responding to or sending
messages.
2. When you received a message,
especially if it is from your
superior at work or a client, it
would be polite to reply urgently.
3. Review first the intended message
before sending it so that you can be
sure that it is the exact message that
you want to convey.
4. As a sign of respect, do not send
spam or chain messages to your list
of contacts, whether they are your
family members, friends or
colleagues.
5. Ask permission first before sharing
someone’s personal post, photo, and
video on social media, as this could
violate the person’s right to privacy.
6. As a sign of respect, personal
photos or videos of private individuals
should not be tampered out of fun or
parody, nor disseminated in public, as
this can be offensive.
7. In public forums or chat rooms, it
would be deemed impolite to ask
someone’s personal information. Ask
it privately.
8. Before sending a private instant
message to someone who is not on
your list of connections or address, it
would be appropriate to introduce
yourself politely and state your
reason for communication.
9. Even though a person is entitled
to freedom of expression, obscene
messages, derogatory remarks on
one’s race or religion, and lewd
photos and videos should not be
publicly posted as this is unlawful.
Ethical standards should be observed
online so that Internet users will know
how to act properly and politely.
There should be no excuse for
netizens to misbehave on social
media. Although the Internet is
technically a virtual world, users are
still expected to follow rules
accordingly and become law-abiding
citizens.
Always remember to be mindful of our
words, thoughts, deeds and actions.
