The Core Rules of Netiquette by Virginia Shea: Though this is a book, the site may be accessed on the internet and all information within this book is available via the internet. The website is www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html. It begins with an introduction, followed by rules. The rules that caught my attention were rules 2, 3 and 8.
Rule number 2 focus on adhering to the same standards of behavior that you follow in real life. For example: This focus on not causing humiliation to others with your words, respecting others and avoiding bullying methods.
Rule number 3 focus on knowing where you are in cyberspace. This basically means that domains vary from one domain to another. Learn the language and protocols before you start sharing. A journalism site does not tolerate idle gossip, versus a TV entertainment site. Rule number 8 is highly important and that is to respect other people's privacy. For example: Do not read other people's e-mail.
Another site that elaborates on internet safety especially for teen and young adults may be accessed at
www.teenlit.com/netiquette.php. There are many times teens and young adults put their family at risk without even realizing. They put every event, place time, meals consumed, and stores that they shop at on facebook, instagram and other social networks. They discuss every method of payment, every name brand purchase and otherwise on the internet. This site is called Netiquette and Internet Safety- Teenlit.
It informs the reader of the do's an dont's of netiquette safety. Examples: Do not give put information about your family without permission.
Do not open or accept e-mails, files, links, urls or anything from people you do not know or trust.
