Digital citizenship is about how we take part online. It includes how we speak to others, share information and use our rights. Privacy, respect and fair access all matter. Our choices affect real people, even when we do not know them in person.
Why it matters
Companies, governments and communities shape the rules of digital spaces. These rules affect what we see and what data is collected. They also shape how abuse is handled. The Council of Europe’s resources explain how people can take part and understand their rights.
Take action
Check information before sharing it. Ask permission before posting someone’s image and learn how to report abuse. Does an online activity exclude people without reliable devices or internet? Explore digital literacy and the digital divide to learn about the skills and access people need.
