Personal Limits in Public Spaces Online

However, the relative anonymity and breakneck speed at which information spreads have created an environment where the line between free speech and social responsibility is sometimes blurred.

Complaints, personal criticisms, extreme comments... about events/people when posted on the Internet seem to immediately become topics of discussion, analysis and evaluation by the social network community. The wave of criticism from public opinion with personal views that go against collective emotions on social networking sites not only reflects the diversity in perspectives but also raises questions about the limits of expressing personal views in public spaces, especially when public opinion performs the function of regulating individual social actions.

In fact, the flow of public opinion condemning inappropriate statements shows that there is an implicit self-monitoring mechanism in the social network community - where social values ​​and norms are protected and reaffirmed through collective responses. Pressure from public opinion has helped regulate and prevent the actions of individuals through "punishments" such as: boycott, isolation or attack.

So, how should one express one's image and personal views in public spaces online, especially when it comes to events that are attracting public attention?

First of all, it is an understanding of the characteristics of public space. This is not a private forum but a place where every word and action can be seen, evaluated and widely spread. Openness and interaction require each individual to be more careful in each statement, anticipating the possible impacts.

Second, the expression of personal views must be based on a foundation of respect and responsibility. Responsibility here is not only responsibility to oneself but also responsibility to the community, avoiding causing division, misunderstanding or hurting common feelings.

Finally, the expression of personal images in public spaces needs to be civilized and constructive. Instead of hasty judgments and negative, offensive comments, each individual can choose to contribute with constructive opinions and positive shares, helping to spread the good values ​​of the event.

The adjustment of public opinion is a strong reminder of the power of the community in shaping the standards of conduct in cyberspace. Individuals need to consciously adjust their behavior, towards expressing their views consciously, with understanding and showing respect and responsibility to the community. From there, each individual can contribute to building a useful and civilized public space.
