Cultural behavior in the digital environment, turning theory into action

Lê Thanh Phong |

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism officially issued a Code of Cultural Conduct in the Digital Environment to orient standard behavior and promote the building of a healthy digital environment.

The core goal of the code of conduct is to build a healthy, transparent and responsible digital environment.

First of all, each individual is not an "anonymous user", but a digital citizen with full moral obligations and social responsibility.

A noteworthy point is the regulation on handling fake news. This is the most dangerous thing but very common in cyberspace, poisoning the community every day, every hour.

Therefore, if false information is detected, users need to proactively notify the platform or functional agency.

If posting content warning about fake news, there must be clear identification signs, such as the symbol "red crossed line".

It must be recognized that if everyone acts decisively against fake news, then that is a way to protect themselves.

One noteworthy point of the Code of Conduct is the use of polite, civilized, and respectful language. Because in reality, substandard language is densely present in cyberspace. From simple debates, many people are willing to switch to personal attacks, cursing, and even fabricating to dethrone others. Harsh comments, insulting regions, religions, or genders appear densely, turning cyberspace into a "arena" rather than a place to exchange information.

The consequence is not only limited to the degradation of the culture of behavior. Acts such as insulting honor, inciting hatred, and online bullying can cause serious harm to victims.

More worryingly, young people are the group that is most directly and deeply affected.

Frequently exposed to harmful content, anti-cultural trends and out-of-standard lifestyles online, many teenagers are easily misconstructed about life values.

From there, a habit of "virtual living" is formed, social media dependence and impaired real-life communication skills.

Social networks, in the end, are another living space of the community, all need to have behaviors that bring common values, not to mention creating beauty and humanity.

Therefore, a polite person when stepping out on the street but going online is willing to utter harsh words after an anonymous account, that is an uncivilized behavior.

The Code of Cultural Conduct in the Digital Environment therefore has the meaning of a "moral barrier".

But the rules will not be valid if they are only on paper.

The important thing is user self-awareness and close coordination between digital platforms, management agencies and the community.

A civilized society cannot accept a chaotic cyberspace.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of offense.
