'Cyber-citizenship' and Internet security arrive in Tuenti with 'Netiqueta'

The social communication platform through the Tuenti network, and Friendly Screens, have joined in the launch of the Netiquette campaign.

It is a proposal of 'label' on the network, that is a set of rules agreed by those who share a space and a part of their life on the Internet (So ​​it's not about laws or rules). Adults already know (although the truth is that many do not put it into practice) that in social relationships through the Internet we must show respect for others and maintain a behavior accepted by all parties involved, just as we do in life 'real'.

Having good taste in the network means knowing how to choose the right actions, behaving appropriately facilitating coexistence, and adopting the smart option that makes the shared place comfortable and enjoyable.

Netiqueta aims to promote good taste in the network with the dissemination of messages related to privacy, security and responsible behavior on the Internet.

Oscar Casado, Legal and Privacy Director of Tuenti, points out that 'Tuenti is the place where millions of users share their lives and although we make the maximum privacy measures available to them by default, It is the users themselves who must carry out a responsible participation with behavior patterns that facilitate the best environment for communication, privacy and coexistence '.

Practical and easy to apply tips

Each council has a poster and an animation video. These are easily understood teaching materials available to society as a whole. The 10 recommendations for good taste in the network are the following:

  1. Ask permission before tagging photos uploaded by other people.

  2. Measure the criticisms you publish well.

  3. Ask yourself what other people's information you expose and make sure they don't care.

  4. Make it easier for others to respect your privacy and intimacy

  5. Before something that bothers you, try react calmly and nonviolently.

  6. Avoid malicious software and take care of your password.

  7. Pay attention to how you present yourself and how other people perceive you.

  8. You are responsible for what you do, also on the Internet.

  9. Think about it before posting something on the Web, even if it's in a private area.

  10. Do not believe that you master everything and that you always decide.
