Netizen
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into digital citizen. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2012. |
The term Netizen is a portmanteau of the English words internet and citizen. It is defined as an entity or person actively involved in online communities and a user of the internet, especially an avid one.[1][2] The term can also imply an interest in improving the internet, especially in regard to open access and free speech.[3] Netizens are also commonly referred to as cybercitizens, which has the same meaning.
