1.        Be mindful of what you post: Consider the potential impact of your posts before sharing them. Avoid posting anything that could be harmful, offensive, or misleading.

2.        Verify information before sharing: Before sharing news or information, make sure it’s accurate and from credible source. Don’t contribute to the spread of misinformation.

3.        Use social media in moderation: It’s easy to get sucked into social media and spend hours scrolling through your feeds. Set limits on your social media use and take breaks when necessary.

4.        Protect your privacy: Review your privacy settings on social media platforms and be mindful of the information you share online. Avoid sharing personal information such as your phone number, home address, or bank account details.

5.        Be respectful to others: Social media provides a platform for people to express their opinion and beliefs, but it’s important to be respectful of other’s views, even if you disagree with them. Avoid engaging in online arguments or bullying others.

6.        Think before you click: Be aware of the potential consequences of clicking on links or downloading files from unknown sources. Be cautious of phishing scams and don’t click on suspicious links or downloads.

By following these guidelines, you can use social media responsibly and enjoy the benefits of staying connected with others while minimizing the potential risks and negative effects.
