CYBER
ETHICS
"Cyber ethics" refers to the code
of responsible behavior on the Internet. Just as we are taught to act
responsibly in everyday life with lessons such as "Don't take what doesn't
belong to you" and "Do not harm others," we must act responsibly
in the cyber world as well.
The basic rule is "Do not do
something in cyberspace that you would consider wrong or illegal in everyday
life."
Considerations When Determining Responsible
Behavior
- Do not use rude
or offensive language.
- Do not cyberbully.
- Do not
plagiarize.
- Do not break
into someone else's computer.
- Do not use
someone else's password.
- Do not attempt
to infect or in any way try to make someone else's computer unusable.
- Adhere to
copyright restrictions when downloading material from the Internet,
including software, games, movies, or music.
