15. Give credit where credit is due1.
The abundance of information is because of the huge
number of content contributions. It is important that an
individual's work or knowledge is given credit when
someone uses it as material. Failing to recognize them or
claiming other's work, as one can see, is not just
unethical; it can also mean legal repercussions.

16. 2. Practice due diligence
Whenever people come across information, they must
validate its authenticity. It is important to find out if the
source of information is credible and is based on facts and
research. Doing due diligence before accepting
information is necessary to filter out false or misleading
data.

17. It is true that privacy is becoming more and more
difficult to uphold in this information age. While users
may not have control about what their friends share
online, they do have control over what they put out on
to virtual space.
3. Respect everyone’s privacy

18. While it is not wrong to express oneself, it is not necessary that
users share every minor detail of their life on social media
accounts. This behavior does not only take up valuable storage
space on the cyberspace, it also raises security concerns. In
addition to this, users should not share personal information about
someone else without their consent.

19. The beauty of information in today's digital age is its use
of the so-called big data or content pooling by individuals,
but it has also its curse. Everyone with access to The
Internet can contribute to the web of information. If users
decide to do so, then they have to separate facts from
opinion. Users should not publish personal beliefs and
claim that they are right without proper research. They
must only consider information and not abuse it.
