Neo-Etiquette Basics: The New Rules of Being Human

We need a baseline that acknowledges a simple moral fact: that other people are actually real people. They have inner lives you can’t and don’t get to see; they have sentience, no matter how inconvenient that might be. You don’t get to treat them as disposable, you don’t get to process them into content, and you don’t get to claim their time, publish their flaws, or distribute their worst moments at will.

We might be better off we replaced the bible's ten commandments with Westenberg's rules. Or maybe just stop acting like you're the only important person there is.
