In both of my books, described below, I provide a definition of Netiquette. The article below provides an expanded and very lucid definition.
From: webroot.com
Netiquette and Online
Ethics: What Are They?
Netiquette is a combination of the words network and etiquette,
and is defined as a set of rules for acceptable online behavior. Similarly,
online ethics focuses on the acceptable use of online resources in an online
social environment.
Both phrases are frequently interchanged and are often
combined with the concept of a ’netizen’ which itself is a contraction of the
words internet and citizen and refers to both a person who uses
the internet to participate in society, and an individual who has accepted the
responsibility of using the internet in productive and socially responsible
ways.
Underlying this overall concept of socially responsible
internet use are a few core pillars, though the details underneath each pillar
are still subject to debate.
At
a high level using netiquette, applying online ethics, or being a good netizen
means:
·
Recognizing that the internet is not
some new world in which anything goes, but rather a new dimension or extension
of our existing society.
·
Applying the same standards and
values online as we are accustomed to applying in the rest of our lives. In
simple terms this means that the values society has in place against such
things as hate speech and bigotry, copyright violations and other forms of
theft, child exploitation and child pornography, remain intact. As do the
values around courtesy, kindness, openness, and treating others with the same
respect we wish to receive.
·
Accepting that the laws which are
currently in place to protect the rights and dignity of citizens apply online,
and that where needed, laws are updated to reflect these rights in the extended
environment. Theft online is still theft, stalking, bullying, harassing,
tormenting online is still abusive, and so on.
·
Acknowledging that cultural
differences remain, even when national boundaries no longer apply. This
requires finding a way to accept that the social values and norms of some
netizens will not be the social values and norms of all netizens.
·
For companies, being a good netizen,
applying online ethics, or using netiquette also includes
a. Respecting
the rights to privacy assumed and possessed by citizens in their offline
interactions.
b. Maintaining
transparency in their policies and actions so that consumers can easily and
quickly understand how that company is using their information, protecting them
from harm, and giving users a clear means of ownership and self-determination
as to what is, and isn’t shared about them.
Most internet users automatically apply the same responsible
respectful behavior online as they do in every other environment and by nature
apply netiquette an online ethics, and are good netizens. The minority that
fail to apply societal values in some or any environment - including the
internet - are quickly identified as exceptions to be dealt with on a social,
or criminal level.
