A summary of the article: The article is talking about how to be safe online, and what you should do to make sure you don't get in trouble

7 netiquettes and my personal thoughts on them are:

1. Behave as though you communicating in person- Act as you are looking face to face. Basically don't say something that you would say to them face to face.


2. Rember that words are open to interpretation- if you say something bad don't be upset when someone gets offended. Treat others the way you want to be treated


3. Do not Shout online-don't type in all caps. Dont be rude


4. Do not flame other users- don't insult the person. Don't be mean


5. Do not spam- do not send rude emails.


6. Do not distribute copyrighted materials- Don't take credit for other peoples work.


7. Do not be a coward- don't put your identity out on the internet

I think that netiquette is important because: It keeps you out of trouble and safe online
