Digital Citizens: Rights and Responsibilities
Rights of a Digital Citizen
- To speak their mind about what they feel and believe
- To control the content they create and distribute it as they see fit
- To comment on the content created by others
- To access publicly available information
- To share publicly available information with other digital citizens
Responsibilities of a Digital Citizen
- To respect the rights of other digital citizens
- To be a participant in the online society
- To assist other digital citizens when possible
- To set a positive example in behavior and action for other digital citizens
What am I missing?
I always think of managing the overload of information as part of digital citizenship (which I see as different from “control”), but somehow it doesn’t fit the list. To manage means to sift through, organize, and save for future use…eliminating unnecessary info.
