The New Webiquette

Abstract

The inspiration for this document came from RFC 1855 ("Netiquette"), which is now partially obsolete and no longer maintained. A lot has happened on the Internet since then (social media, video conferencing, deepfakes, ad networks), which should be applied in a netiquette. Like in RFC 1855 this is only a minimal standard.

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
