When you're online, it's easy to lose sight of the human. Remember, it is critical to remember the human.You should never say something to someone online that you would not say to him or her in person. It is also useful to remember that online interactions are nearly always recorded and backed up. If you act inappropriately, these recordings will serve as evidence against you.

In life, people generally follow the law. It can, however, be easy to let your ethics slip when online. Illegal streaming of movies, illegal downloading of music, and copyright infringement are still breaking the law. It is the online equivalent of shoplifting. Breaking the law is bad etiquette.

Just like any other decision we make, what we do online has ethical implications. These ethical decisions are not always related to the law, but the choices you make online demonstrate your ethical stances.

Make sure you are careful with what you share. It is always advisable not to share anything embarrassing, illegal, or inappropriate. People you have not even met may look you up online. Make sure you leave a good impression.

Always ensure that what you write and share is understandable and grammatically correct. It makes it hard for others to read your work if it is not communicated properly.

It generally helps to avoid swearing, but if you feel the need, it may be an idea to use euphemisms or asterisks to filter it out.

If you are sending something, you need to be conscious of how the receiver will access the file. You can save people's data limits and time by being considerate with what you send or share. Compress files where appropriate, ensure you only send things across once, and send them to the people who need them.

Sharing is one of the principles behind the majority of internet services. If you are knowledgeable in an area, then you have something to offer! Share what you know, and it will help other users. You should never post anything disingenuous online. In the online environment, it is very easy for untruths, errors, and mistakes to become accepted as fact and propagated. You have the responsibility of ensuring the accuracy of your contributions. If you are sharing an opinion or ideas, make sure they are clear to your audience.

People are always going to disagree, and that is healthy. Such disagreements can be about heated issues like politics, religion, or philosophy, or they can be relatively trivial. When involved in any such debate, it is important to be respectful of the other people involved. Never reduce the discussion to personal issues, and avoid inappropriate language. If you are going to provide negative comments, ensure they are constructive and useful.
