Being A Conscious User of the Internet

​1) Anything you post permanently stays on the internet. Even that offensive meme you posted ten years ago will never go away. Ten years from now, someone can see things you post and judge you based on that one post from a long time ago.

2) Remember that Obama Campaign poster. Even though he recreated the picture of Obama, the original photo was used and he disobeyed copyright laws. Make sure that whatever you post or re-post, re-tweet and recreate should be following copyright laws.

3) Know that whatever you post online, there can be consequences. Whether good or bad, someone can be affected by what you post. Make sure before you post think, is this post going to have a negative or positive affect on someone and would my parents approve of what I post? Questions like these help me be aware of what I post.
