A lot of the problems with the internet are down to a lack of responsibility: you can say anything you like with no repercussions because nobody knows who you really are. Thus, people post offensive material, misinformation, and so on that they would never do in the real world because people would lose respect for them / hit them pretty hard if they did.

Look at the amount of "how to clean your facebook / twitter / blah, blah" advice there is for when people realize that potential employers will look at what they have done and said. Look at what happened to Dalek Dave when he stood for council elections - one racist post on twitter and he lost them a safe seat in the middle of the biggest swing to his party in a generation! And we haven't seen him since. That's responsibility in action: if you are going to be held accountable for what you post then you are a lot less likely to post cr@p - and if you do, you will get called on it and people will trust what you say less in future.
