Practise good social media etiquette


I STRONGLY urge social media users to be respectful of one another. Some abuse the platforms they use to hurl insults, make rude comments and humiliate people, especially over differences in opinions.

There have also been instances of late when some users change the spelling of the names of prominent people to ridicule them – there is no need to resort to such childish actions. At least have the decency and manners to respect someone’s name. Do not make light of a person’s name just because it brings some childish gratification.
