Social Media Etiquette
Voicethread: https://voicethread.com/myvoice/thread/30667070
Social media etiquette refers to the set of informal rules and best practices for respectful and responsible behavior when interacting online. It includes being mindful of what you post, avoiding offensive language or content, respecting others’ privacy, giving credit where it's due, and engaging in constructive conversations rather than arguments or harassment. Good social media etiquette helps maintain a positive digital environment, fosters healthy communication, and protects your personal and professional reputation.
Great example. It is crazy how people do not think before they post once a post is out there it's out there forever.
ReplyDeleteThe Justine Sacco incident definitely shows how dangerous online users can easily take offense. While her tweet was offensive and poorly worded, it immediately ruined her life quickly, and it makes you think about whether public shaming actually solves anything. You made some great points when considering posting something online.
ReplyDeleteI’ve seen this post before, and it was definitely a huge controversy. In what world did she think that was funny… it’s really unbelievable that she really was going to Africa. Not only the racism, but to include a deadly disease in your “joke” means it’s not funny at all. She should definitely know better as a PR executive.
ReplyDeleteAfter this controversy it is hard to think that someone would even think to tweet that. This just shows you how one tweet can change everything. I do agree she should have considered the context.
ReplyDeleteYou gave a clear and solid explanation of social media etiquette—great job showing how it helps create a respectful and positive online space.
ReplyDeleteI was always told to only post things that you would be comfortable with your grandma saw it. I think more people need to realize that when you post things they are always there.
