In this book, Cees J Hamelink proposes an answer to – how should democratic societies organize cyberspace? – that puts human-rights, rather than profit, at the top of the agenda. He argues that conventional ethical approaches are all seriously flawed. There is a growing volume of moral rules, netiquettes and codes of conduct, but they are of little help in solving the moral dilemmas raised by the new technologies. In this book the author analyzes the inadeqacies of current global goveance policies and structures that underpin them, and argues for standards which put justice, human security and freedom first.
