Internet Code of Conduct or the Freedom to Post
There is freedom of speech but is there a freedom to post? And if so, are there any strings attached or should there be? Today there are too many websites, too many emails, too many posts, too many comments…and then there is spam and there are scams and all of the rest. There is simply a junk overload on the Internet and it is not getting any better. But everyone can help it! Everyone, including you!
Just because it is so easy to post to the web, should one post irresponsibly? Or should there be some sort of “ethical” or “moral” obligation to post responsibly as to not “pollute” the Internet scape with junk? And then perhaps a “web junk collector” service is needed rather than “junk aggregator,” of which plenty abound.
Such “utopian” Internet could also be described as “ecologically” clean Internet or as a lean Internet. It is wonderful to have access to good and useful information, entertainment and whatever else, yet free of clutter, useless, misleading or wrong information.
The moral of this story is simple: “Think before you post and consider whether such post really adds anything beneficial. Be a responsible internetizen!”
