Research Objective This semester my goal is to better understand ethical and moral issues that frequently occur in computer environments, especially in the social realm with things like social media and business. Annotations I chose this article in order to better understand the scope of what it means to be moral on the web. After all, many people’s morals obviously differ. This fact can create a lot of dismay of what moral means and this is especially apparent on the social networking sites and trust aspects that most who use the web encounter almost daily. The article talks about identification and attribution of responsibility, which I found rather interesting, given that a lot of this is subjective. I was curious what happens to minority perspectives. How one resolves moral issues, like those pertaining to economic factors, can obviously have a big affect and cause many problems on an online page that the world can see. Even privacy starts to become an issue which, “even though a ‘good-faith effort’ may have been made to conceal the identity of the institution involved, as well as to protect the privacy of the data subjects who participated in the research, the privacy of the students was compromised because of the way the source of the data could be so ‘quickly identified.’” I wondered how often in the early era of social networking sites did someone feel as if their privacy was compromised compared to today? Questions: Q:What were the four categories of moral luck? A:Consequentialist luck, constitutive luck, circumstantial luck, and luck in antecedent conditions Q:How did people initially trust contributors to open source software or online forums? A: “‘Substantial trust‘ had to be assumed in cases involving contributors to “open” online forums such as Wikipedia. My Questions: ~I still never got the full understanding of what moral luck actually is and how it has to do with luck? ~What are some of the ways, besides not being able to see the person on the other end of the wire, that distrust online effects us psychologically?
