关于互联网的10条使用规则 你遵守了吗？

Take PR exec Justine Sacco for example. Late last year, this woman tweeted a joke on her way to Africa, and by the time she landed, she was fired. I don’t agree with her termination, and I’m sure she doesn’t either, but our opinions don’t matter, because the majority spoke.
就拿公关执行官贾斯汀-萨科来说吧。去年，这个女人在去非洲的途中在推特网上发了一个笑话，结果等她刚下飞机就被解雇了。我觉得她不该被解雇，而且我肯定她本人也不服，但这又能怎样？大部分人说了算。

The Internet is as close to a true democracy as we have in this world, so, for good or bad, the majority rules.
当今世界，互联网跟真正的民主不相上下。不论好坏，都是大部分人说了算。

7. Toughen Your Skin
你得皮厚点

There are some really mean people out there saying and doing some really mean things. It’s good to fight for justice. You should speak out when you see something wrong, but it’s not realistic to think the world will instantly change.
网上真有刻薄的人说些刻薄的话并做出刻薄的事来。打抱不平无可厚非，你确实应该在看到错误时站出来，但不要期望世界立马就因此改变。

Life’s not fair for anyone, so it’s fair in that sense. Thicken your skin and learn to take criticism because people would much rather learn and debate knowledge than argue and fight about morality.
生活对谁都不公平，这么一来倒也算是公平吧。皮厚点，别把批评太当回事儿，因为与其为道德而争论，不如长点见识。

8. Big Brothers Are Watching
“老大哥”在看着你

You’re being monitored. Everyone is monitoring you. This is not a test, and it’s not some marketing ploy (although the marketing industry is involved in monitoring you). Understand you’re not just being judged by your peers—you’re being judged by the powers that be. It’s not just in the US either; everyone’s trying to pry into your private life.
你是受到监控的，每个人都在监控你。这不是检验，也不是什么市场营销策略（尽管市场营销行业确实离不开监控）。请明白，你不只是受同辈的监控，还受到权威方的监控。这也不只是美国才有的现象；要知道，每个人都在试图窥探你的隐私。

9. Keep It Civil
保持文明

Freedom of speech is important—everyone should have the right to say what they want, and a few idiots who abuse this freedom can’t ruin it for anyone. You can say whatever you want.
言论自由很重要——每个人都应该有权利自由发表言论，少数几个放弃这种权利的傻瓜并不能影响其他人。你可以说任何自己想说的话。

This doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences to your words; however, so proceed with caution. From your end, put forth the effort to be courteous and considerate of people you interact with, whether online or off.
但这并不意味着你的言论不会造成任何后果；因此，请谨慎些。不论是线上还是线下，在与人打交道时，都请努力做到谨慎周全。

10. You Should Be Anonymous
你应该匿名

Anonymous sounds like some crazy hacker group filled with rowdy kids, but it’s not. Anonymous is an ideal supported by grown and successful adults and innovators in every industry. The reason we all support Anonymous is because we believe every human being deserves the basic human right of choosing the size of their own personal bubble. You should be Anonymous too.
匿名听上去像是某个尽是无赖之流的黑帮，其实并不是这么回事。每个行业成熟成功的成年人和改革家都支持匿名。都赞同匿名的原因就是，人们相信每个人都有选择个人隐私范围的基本人权。所以，你最好也匿名吧。
