What is Netiquette?
Netiquette is short for "Internet etiquette." Just like etiquette is a code of polite behavior in society, netiquette is a code of good behavior on the Internet.
While there is no official list of netiquette rules or guidelines, the general idea is to respect others online.
.
Safe Internet browsing means surfing the Internet while preventing yourself from getting into any troubles or dangers that the Internet can offer. Surfing safely on the Internet does not mean restricting yourself from accessing websites, or banning yourself from the use of social media. It simply means educating yourself about the different dangers you can encounter with. By using safe Internet browsing practices, you can learn how to keep your privacy intact while exploring the digital space.
