    • When communicating online, remember the rules of etiquette that you follow in your everyday life.
    • Refrain from insulting, provoking, threatening, or insulting others.
    • Respect the opinions of your chat counterparts and express constructive criticism. 

    2. Present your best side online

    • Communication on the internet comes with certain anonymity that does not exist in real life when you are talking to someone face to face.

    • When sending private emails to multiple recipients, use BCC (blind carbon copy) instead of CC (carbon copy). 
    • This rule on the internet also applies to uploading and sharing photos or videos that show other people. Before circulating such private files, be sure to check with the people concerned before doing so.

    • Moderators in a forum, experts in companies, or system administrators.
    • If you have more power than others, you do not have the right to exploit this power.

    What is the Negative Impact of Social Media on Democracy
    Solution

    The correct answer is All of the above

    Key Points

    • Negative Impact of Social Media on Democracy
    • Political Polarization:
    • One of the most common criticisms of social media is that it creates echo chambers where people only see viewpoints they agree with — further driving us apart.
    • As unprecedented numbers of people channel their political energy through this medium, it’s being used in unforeseen ways with societal repercussions that were never anticipated.
    • Propaganda Setting:
    • According to Google Transparency Report, political parties mostly in the last two years have spent around $800 million (Rs 5,900 crore) on election ads.
    • Micro-targeting can enable dishonest campaigns to spread toxic discourse without much consequence.

    • Around the US 2016 election, Russian entities set up and promoted fake Pages on Facebook to influence public sentiment — essentially using social media as an information weapon.
    • In this way, social media enables nation-states to use these platforms to wage a cyberwar intended to divide society.

    • Social media gives people more voice and can sometimes be used, by anyone, to spread hoaxes and misinformation.
