Ethics in Technology
Ethics is the philosophical study of morality. There are many theories around morality, many of which were initially derived from traditional and religious beliefs. Governments and other ruling bodies enact laws due to disagreements regarding ethical issues. Technology is a scientific tool, designed without regard to ethics or morals. It simply exists, and those who use it will do so in accordance with their own ethical beliefs. When considering digital technology, who decides the ethics of its use, how it is utilized, and how they are enforced?
