  23. What does it mean to be a digital citizens or netizens

    It means that you are part of the internet and you are responsible for what you post. You can connect with others on the internet. You uphold yourself and respect other's space.

    Do values like respect and responsibility exist in Cyber space? Why?

    yes, they do. information spreads like wildfire on the internet and if someone posts something on the internet talking about how terrible someone else might be, that someone's whole reputation would be destroyed and possibly even your own, therefore people refrain from being rude in cyber space.
