Ethics in Cyberspace
“Proper Distance: Toward and Ethics in Cyberspace” is a a great chapter in Digital Media Revisited. Silverstone begins by mentioning that this topic is neither easy nor fashionable. The internet has all different kinds of aspects which are all leading to a moral or immoral life. It is a fine line to draw and many question where it is going. Too many things are available on the internet right now. Naval bases can be looked at on a satellite image, people can work together globally to plan meetings for education, or terrorist activity. I think Silverstone is calling for an ethical approach to the intenet and wants others to see the moral value in this. The proper distance side of things is to keep people from going to far. Media reporting on the internet gets too involved in the lives of others. Silverstone wants to see some ethics applied to cyberspace.
