Answer:

The kind of information that should be on the internet must be one that is good.

Step-by-step explanation:

Qualities of good information are as follows:

A) Relevance:

For the purpose it was published, to the audience, it was intended for, every information put out there on the internet must be relevant. This is key and not negotiable. Perhaps its relevance may wane over time, however, in the period it was posted, it has to speak to the intended purpose.

B) Complete:

Incomplete information automatically becomes misleading or useless.

To say Donald Trump was a United States president in 2021 would be factually correct. However, that statement is misleading because he also stepped down in the same year for Joe Biden. Now that gives a complete and true picture of the Presidency of the United State of America (POTUS) in 2021.

C) Accuracy:

Accuracy means there is little chance for misinterpretation, misinformation, and misrepresentation of facts.

Essentially, if it's a spade, don't call it a pen.

D) Clarity:

"In 2020, delegates to the White House to speak about the problems so that we can be happy so the problems have to go away soon"

The above statement at its best only tells us that someone sent delegates to the White House to speak about problems. We don't know what the problem was, who the delegates were, nor do we know who sent them. Clarity is key. The next point conciseness also helps with this.

E) Conciseness

Another word for this is brevity.

This does not necessarily mean one must only publish short messages on the internet. It simply means that you must make your point with the least amount of words possible.

F) Authenticity

Call it trustworthy information if you like. People make decisions based on information they have received. If one must put out information on the internet, it must be true, factual, and correct.

Cheers
