Q1. Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often?

bautisj1 — 2025-02-14 03:50:23 UTC

I think students would most often violate the first ethical computing guideline in which it states, "Thou Shalt Not Use A Computer To Harm Other People". As social media is very prevalent in society especially amongst the younger population, cyberbullying and participation in harmful conversations online are involved.

Q2. Why do you think these violations occur?

bautisj1 — 2025-02-14 03:53:58 UTC

Unfortunately I believe these violations occur due to the ability for individuals to hide behind anonymous accounts as it easier to share things that harm another when their identity is unknown.

Q3. What do you think could be done to reduce or eliminate such unethical behavior?

bautisj1 — 2025-02-14 03:56:31 UTC

I believe that protocols must be put in place to prevent sharing harmful statements to another, whether in posts or comments. By banning harmful words or phrases, it can help to eliminate cyberbullying. Other alternatives could be to ban the accounts itself in order to deter offenders of the harmful behavior.
