Norms & Responsibilities

Abby BIllings
One right that should be a norm would be for people have access to information for free, but it is the responsibility of the user to make sure the information is valid/ accurate (cross-referencing sources), it also the responsibility of the user to give proper credit to their sources of information.
Another right would be users should have the option to post their own creations, research, and opinions to share with others. But it is a responsibility to choose how and where these things will be posted, who will have access to these items.  When giving feedback it is a responsibility to give constructive criticism because not only will the source of the material see this, so will others.  And with technology giving a sense of anonymity once one person degrades in a comment others will soon follow suit, creating a positive feedback loop of negativity and hurt.
