2. Internet Ethics for everyone

3. Internet ethics means acceptable behaviour
for using the Internet.
We should be honest, respect the rights and
property of others on the internet.

4. CYBERBULLYING
Willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of
computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.

5. Copyright
Fundamentally, copyright is a law that gives you
ownership over the things you create. Be it a painting,
a photograph, a poem or a novel, if you created it, you
own it and it’s the copyright law itself that assures that
ownership. The ownership that copyright law grants
comes with several rights that you, as the owner, have
exclusively. Those rights include:
• the right to reproduce the work
• to prepare derivative works
• to distribute copies
• to perform the work
• to display the work publicly

6. SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media is the collective of online
communications channels dedicated to community-
based input, interaction, content-sharing and
collaboration. Websites and applications dedicated to
forums, microblogging, social networking, social
bookmarking, social curation, and wikis are among the
different types of social media.

7. ONLINE REPUTATION
Online reputation is the process of controlling what
shows up when someone Googles your name. We'll
show you how to promote positive content to the
top of your search results and push unwanted
content (negative, irrelevant or competition) farther
down to ensure that when someone Googles you,
their results are populated with positive, relevant
content about you.

9. SECURE PASSWORD ONLY FOR YOURSELF
We should not give personal details like home address,
phone numbers, interests, passwords. No photographs
should be sent to strangers because it might be
misused and shared with others without their
knowledge.

10. Ethical rules for computer users
Some of the rules that individuals should follow while using a computer
are listed below:
• Do not use computers to harm other users.
