Read the following excerpt from Dan Richard’s “Digital Ethics”:
Netiquette, a hybrid word combining network and etiquette, essentially refers to the social code of the Internet. As such, netiquette — how we communicate, treat others, portray ourselves, and protect ourselves online — is a question of ethics. Ethics, or moral philosophy, refers generally to how groups and individuals determine moral courses of action. Because ethics refers to the way groups and individuals relate to, treat, and resolve issues with each other, digital ethics then encompasses how users and participants in online environments interact with each other and the technologies and platforms used to engage.
