In todays era we cannot blame that we were born with modern technology, because it has become a part of our lives today. But we cannot also deny that there are still people who still don’t know how to obey the rules on how to use social media properly. There are also many people who says that social media helps people in other places to have communication for each other, and they also say that is also for fun. Yes, they are right about that but sometimes it is also harmful. That is why social media should be used responsibly.
Here are some rules to use social media responsibly:
1. RESPECT THE RIGHTS AND DIGNITY OF OTHERS
– We must act accordingly and responsibly in any of our actions especially while using social media. Let’s spread this awareness so that we can lessen and prevent danger in the world wide net and to protect the innocent people as well as your self.
2. THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK
– When using social media, it is important to know the basics especially when sharing or reacting to any posts, news, rumors, and etc. you have to “ THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK”. By doing this, it is necessary to read the sources from which the articles or news came from. You have to verify whether it is a fact or just a rumor, or just a misunderstanding.
3. DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
– In social media don’t believe everything in what you see in it, because not everything there is truth because others are just fabrications. The moment you share something, you may be the one or your are one of the people spreading the rumors or fake news.
4. AVOID HAVING CONTACT WITH ANY STRANGER
– Avoid having relationshios with people you do not know or who are new to social media, because not all people on social media can be trusted. Many of the cases were highlighted due to having contact with those who are not very well known on social media, or posers sitting on dummy accounts. This type of cases are needed to be solved, so avoid having contact with social media except to those people you know already.
5. LIMIT THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
– Nowadays due to pandemic most of us are soaked in social media, we are also unaware of the time of its use. Many people today get sick from constantly focusing on social media without knowing they are slowly killing their selves.So we must give ourselves a limit on the use of social media.
6. NO TO CYBER BULLYING
– Posting pictures of someone on social media can cause cyber bullying. Cyber Bullying can cause mental illness, make someone lose their self confidence and it affects them mentally and emotionally. Thats why we need to avoid the cause of cyber bullying.

– If your posts are appropriate, not too personal, and non-contreversial, your online presence will show that you respect yourself and others. The bottom line here is that if you are careful about what you post on social media, you will nit run into any problems online.
8. UNDERSTAND YOUR LIMITATIONS
– We must find out what extent we limit ourselves to any event on social media, Because if we engaged in something we do not know the whole story, it will affect us, as a netizen. You cannot control the conversation online, you can only be part of it and the conversation happen if you join or not.
9.DON’T SAY ANYTHING ONLINE THAT YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO BE PLASTERED ON
– This is like think before you click rule, which means we should be responsible for what we post and say on any social platforms. Think about how your post will affect people who will get to see it.
