Introduction
Social media etiquette refers to both the spoken and unspoken set of social conventional rules of personal and business behavior online. It dictates how people conduct themselves on social media so they remain respectful and respectable.
Social media etiquettes make you more empathetic toward others. Using etiquette on social media encourages you to put yourself in people's shoes. And in doing so, it gives you a better understanding of their requirements and needs.
Don'ts on Social media- presence
Digital Footprint
Nothing is private on the Internet and many sites have the ability to archive or store your information. Your "digital footprint" is the data that you leave behind after interacting in online environments such as social media websites or discussion boards. Be cautious of personal material and information that is posted online by yourself or others. This is important as employers are increasingly using social media to evaluate and find potential employees.
When using social media websites, you should:
- Check the privacy settings on websites such as Facebook
- Confirm that your profile information is accessible only to the extent you choose
- Do not accept people you do not know as "friends" on social media websites
- Be careful when interacting or sharing information with other Internet users
