Don't believe everything
Websites can be faked; reviews can be faked; identities can be faked; news can be faked; photos can be faked; videos can be faked.
Sometimes it is faked for fun, and other times people have really bad motives. Don't believe everything on the Internet. Verify it.

Don't argue politics with strangers
Talk with your friends, sure, but if you want to increase your enjoyment of the Internet and life in general, steer clear of debating politics with strangers.

Information won't soothe your anxiety

Don't be someone you're not
It is crucial to remain true to yourself and be the same person you're online and offline.
If you lie about yourself on social media, you lied about yourself. A lie online is still a lie. Don't be someone you're not.

Just because you can find the information online doesn't mean you should
