你遵守了这些“数码礼仪”吗？

Despite being around for well over a decade, there are few set rules of 'digital etiquette' that everyone can agree on when it comes to using social media, emails and text messages.
尽管进入数码时代已经十多年了，但在使用社交媒体、电邮和短信时大家都认可的“数码礼仪”仍然没有什么定例。

Some hate oversharing, others love to air their dirty laundry whenever they can and a small number think it's acceptable to end relationships over text.
有些人讨厌过度分享，但也有人喜欢喋喋不休地唠叨自己的隐私。还有一小撮人认为发个短信就可以分手了。

Digital etiquette, or netiquette as it is sometimes called, is a basic set of rules you should follow in order to make the internet better for others, and better for you. It’s just as important to treat people with courtesy and respect online as it is in real life.
“数码礼仪”也称网络礼仪，为了形成更好的网络环境，人们应该遵守这些基本规则。就像在现实生活中一样，网络上人们也应该以礼相待。
