Talk:Computer ethics

message: After extensive searching, I have found not one other page referencing this person, or his 'model', as listed in the article. The cited pages certainly have no mention of him, and I have exhausted my personal searching resources, including a couple private databases.
I suggest researching this further.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.105.207 (talk) 21:52, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm concerned that Floridi's contributions to the field in the intro sound too substantial - he's not really that important to computer ethics historically, and he's only just begun to have an impact on the field.  Furthermore, it seems odd to have a sentence in the intro that doesn't get referenced elsewhere in the article (this could probably be fixed by simply writing more about the subject - refer to the SEP to see a bit of what could be written).  However, I haven't simply deleted the sentence about Floridi because it happens to be, in a sense, true. Thomblake (talk) 15:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello. I'm the person who originally posted this article. I appreciate all the additions people have made to it, but I do call into question the recent additions to it:
A complement to ethics…
I believe the concept of social responsibility is touched on in the Issues section. If you wish to expand upon this topic, I believe the third issue in that section should be expanded. What do you thin?
One theory of the nature of ethics
I don't believe this section is appropriate for this article - it deals with the general topic of ethics itself and not computer ethics specifically. Theories regarding the formation of ethics seem far more suited to the main ethics article.
Please give me feedback regarding these issues. Thank you. --Jtalledo (talk) 18:21, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree on both counts.  I changed the title of the latter section to make it more accurate (it was presented as the theory of ethics!  I'll take it out, I think. Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 18:32, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two new areas 

message: Hi all, Is it possible to highlight environmental and social issues in an explicit way?  They might already be included in some of the off-page links, but having followed a few of those links I'm none the wiser.  Issues I'm thinking about are:
* Green IT: i.e. taking steps to reduce the environmental footprint of computers and computer networks
* Ethical sourcing of materials: eg. avoiding the use of tantalum because it is sourced in Congo and is contributing to war there.
* Ethical disposal of materials: eg. is donating old, inefficient computers to charity to be shipped to other countries really ethical or just cheap disposal of rubbish?
Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.52.5.10 (talk) 14:43, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion: Include environmental and social issues 

message: Hi all,
I have not promoted this article because I feel it does not adequately cover the major aspects of the subject. It offers little detail on any of the points it raises. It does not seem to explain how computer ethics and general ethics relate to each other. It does not offer a means to obtain further information on the Collins and Miller or Davis methods (nor does it offer any examples of how the methods work). And, finally, it lacks sufficient inline citations. Please feel free to resubmit this article when these issues are addressed.

thread_title:  Reason for not promoting 

message: I added information that divided Computer Ethics into 3 primary influences that I discovered while reading the abstract to a journal written by Margaret Anne Pierce of Georgia Southern University. Unfortunately, I was only able to access the abstract because the full journal is secured to SpringerLink subscribers.

thread_title: Added information to definition

message: I added information that explains a concern of how children could be effected because of how they are put out their by parents social media leaving hackers to use their information to go after the family. I felt it was a very big concern as we enter more and more into the future.
