Be a Digital Role Model! 7 Essential Tips for Responsible Social Media Citizenship
Combat Disinformation Remember that not everything you read is accurate, and sometimes, people share things that aren’t true in order to cause problems. This can make it hard to know what’s really happening. So, to help keep things straight, it’s a good idea to check if the information is correct before you share it with others. That way, we can all be sure we’re passing along reliable sources and not spreading false information. Practice Digital Empathy Don’t forget that real people are on the other side of the screen, so before you hit the “send” button, think about how your words or actions might make others feel. If you see any inappropriate behavior while using social media, feel free to report it and create a safer online environment for everyone!
As we mentioned on Page 2, social media has become a crucial part of our lives. It offers us different ways to connect with people, share information, and express ourselves. However, using social media comes with great responsibility. Just like how we try to be good citizens in our physical communities, we must also be mindful of our actions when using social media. So, to become a responsible digital “citizen,” keep these five things in mind while online to stay safe and use social media in a positive way. Be Respectful When you interact with others online, try to treat them with the same respect and kindness you would in person. This means being open to different opinions and perspectives, even if they don’t match
your own. Also, avoid using language that discriminates against people, and be willing to listen to what others say. Remember, everyone deserves to be treated with respect, both online and offline. Think Twice Before You Post Before posting anything online, think about how it might affect others. Always make sure that whatever you share is accurate and respectful, and keep in mind that once something is posted, it can be challenging to remove it entirely from the internet. Protect Your Privacy To keep your personal information safe, make sure to adjust the privacy settings on your social media accounts and use caution when sharing sensitive information, especially your location or contact details.
