Survival guide online by DS

Online I appear as a whole different person, I’m very quiet, and pretty much the same as how I act in public. When people look at me based on my appearance they would think I’m a delinquent or a trouble maker. When posting I think about what I say and I make sure people understand what I post or say and make sure that they don’t misunderstood, and that nobody would be offended. The pros is that you can control what you post and the cons is that whatever you post may spread like a wildfire depending on what you say. Lack of control, permanence and immediacy impacted our lives because people will look at what you post, and you can’t control what you post because people can just keep sharing passing it on from person to person, and permanence is affecting our lives (not just online, also our personal live) because people just look at that and assume you are this and this because you post this and this. My thoughts on a social media background checks by potential employers, well I’m against that because it’s a breach of privacy, and people judge quickly on what the person is like when they see a certain post, but I can’t complain because it’s maybe a job that I want. Free speech is basically the right to say whatever you want, but this power have some limits, things like profanity, fight words, and words that is used to degrade someone is not protected by law. An internet troll is someone who enjoys seeing people mad, basically they make someone mad and trying to get their angers out. Well we can stop trolling by making a website that have programs that type some random discussion and the program can be programmed to respond to what the trolls is saying so they wouldn’t bother an actual person. Pros of posting anonymously is that no one would know that you are the poster if you wanna post without anyone knowing who you are, and the con is that it’s difficult to identify the person who post certain posts.

tips

1. Think before posting.

2. Comment without offending or use words to degrade.
