If you don`t respect others on social networks with the intention that you want to get their reputation ruined,you are actually tricking yourself,the only person who`s gonna get his reputation ruined is you boecause people will see you as a disrespectful person.

  7. People turn to loose themselves and post disturbing things on social networks, not thinking that this could easily be traced back to them. On the other hand social networks allow people to post whatever they want on social network, too much freedom is given to people online.

  12. I think there are a lot of people out there who should be educated and informed about these guidelines because people just post what ever that comes first in their minds and forget that what they are doing might catch up with them in the future like those who post their almost naked pictures and sex videos.lets respect ourselves and others by watching what we are saying and doing.
