    This document discusses ethics and social media. It notes that technology advances faster than ethical values and laws, requiring discussion between relevant groups. It also notes that without established rules for new technologies, conceptual issues can arise around how to classify new tools. Additionally, technologies are no longer just private but have social dimensions. The document then questions whether new media introduce fundamentally new ethical questions or are old questions in a new context. It outlines some key concepts in ethics including the study of morals, applied ethics, and aims of ethics systems. Finally, it provides examples of some ethical theories and notes potential applications, along with examples of social media issues related to privacy, property, teaching, and friendship.

    ETHICS AND SOCIAL


    MEDIA
    WHY ETHICS?
    Technology advances faster than ethical values,
    morals and especially laws
    Discussion between relevant parties needed,
    ethicists, professionals, ’intelligentsia’,
    organisation representatives, politicians, media,
    ’normal’ people, etc.
    Law and morals do not always meet

    MOTIVATION
    Vacuum of rules
    • Rules of the field derived from old rules, there
    aren’t any rules or they aren’t followed
    Conceptual muddles
    • Is a program a service, means of production, idea
    or a presentation of an idea?
    Social use environment

    NEW QUESTIONS?
    New area, old questions or new area with new questions?
    Does the medium bring new ethical questions to bear?
    Is there something fundamentally different about ICT
    compared to other things?

    ETHICS, APPLIED
    ETHICS AND MORALS
    Ethics is the study of morals
    Morals are the (right or good) habits
    which people have in a society (lat.
    mores)
    Applied ethics tries to clarify the
    questions of ethics/morals so that they
    can be discussed
    • Professional ethics within a field
    Ethics have been and are still used to
    formulate policies in societies

    THE AIM(S) OF ETHICS
    The good of the people

    • To build a system(s) to solve how to get there
    • To apply the system(s) to actual questions coherently and
    consistently

    what ethical positions people hold
