Social Networking Netiquette (SNN)
1) Politics. Avoid mentions about politicians, parties and governments, unless you are a paid journalist, an active politician or a retired politician.
2) Justice. Avoid dealing with legal issues, unless you are a lawyer.
3) Defense. Avoid military matters, unless you are a career diplomat or a retired military person.
4) Religion. Avoid defending religious positions, even if you are a cleric.
5) Falsehood. Do not pass on foolishness or falsehood, unless it is clear that it is harmless humor.
6) Relationships. Try to prioritize personal and social relationships that are festive, artistic, cultural, literary, historical, linguistic, scientific, sportive or ecological.
7) Reservation. In the case of partisan political, judicial, military or religious issues, try to treat them only in one-on-one conversations, in messenger or in the old e-mail, not in open network.
8) Fun. Always take into account that the use of social networks is healthy only if used for fun, fraternization and remembrance, never for attacks, offenses, prejudices and spreading false accusations.
9) Friendship. Always think of the discomfort you would have if you noticed that even for friends you are being inconvenient in your posts.
10) Instrument. Contribute with your attitude to keep social networks free of mythomaniacs, prejudicious and fanatics of any kind, avoiding propagating their dementias.
