Computer ethics

Computer ethics is a part of practical philosophy concerned with how computing professionals should make decisions regarding professional and social conduct.

Not to be confused with Cyberethics.

Margaret Anne Pierce, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computers at Georgia Southern University has categorized the ethical decisions related to computer technology and usage into three primary influences:

  1. The individual's own personal [ethical] code.
  2. Any informal code of ethical conduct that exists in the work place.
  3. Exposure to formal codes of ethics.
