Below are listed what the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) consider to be illegal behaviours-

1. If you set up a social networking page specifically designed to encourage negative comments, you could end up being accused of defamation.
2. If you make threats or derogatory comments on a social networking site, and it becomes public you could be considered to be inciting hatred of an individual.
3. If you post offensive or abusive comments or unwanted images on someone else's social networking site you could be found guilty of using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.
4. If you upload to the internet footage of yourself or others engaging in illegal activates, be aware that that footage could be used as evidence against you in court.
