The global Internet is assuming an increasingly significant role in the modern world, changing the structure of our lives. An uderstanding of the ethical issues surrounding this international entity is therefore crucial to anyone using the Internet. While most Internet books are concerned with the mechanics of programming and usage, Internet Ethics, considers the moral, ethical and legal framework underpinning our use of the Internet and the World Wide web.

The protests unleashed by Irana??s disputed presidential election in June 2009 brought the Islamic Republica??s vigorous cyber culture to the worlda??s attention. Iran has an estimated 700,000 bloggers, and new media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube were thought to have played a key role in spreading news of the protests. The Internet is often celebrated as an agent of social change in countries like Iran, but most literature on the subject has struggled to grasp what this new phenomenon actually means. How is it different from print culture? Is it really a new public sphere? Will the Iranian blogosphere create a culture of dissidence, which eventually overpowers the Islamist regime? In this groundbreaking work, the authors give a flavor of contemporary Internet culture in Iran and analyze how this new form of communication is affecting the social and political life of the country. Although they warn against stereotyping bloggers as dissidents, they argue that the Internet is...

PREFACE A L'EDITION FRANCAISE --- L'arrivee d'Internet ces dernieres annees en France a bouscule serieusement la vie d'un certain nombre de nos concitoyens et malgre les reticences habituelles au changement particulierement ancrees chez les francais de plus de 45 ans, l'Internet s'impose progressivement aussi bien sur le plan personnel que professionnel. Attentif a tout ce qui touche au phenomene Internet, j'ai eu l'opportunite d'avoir entre les mains au printemps 1999 un ouvrage ecrit en janvier 1999 par Alice SNELL intitule " Recruiting Dot Com : The Impact of The Internet on Executive Search ". J'ai propose au President et Editeur de Kennedy Information, Wayne Cooper, de traduire ladite etude en francais et de la completer par quelques chapitres et remarques sur la presence d'Internet et le recrutement " On Line " des Cadres et Dirigeants en France a la fin de l'annee 1999.

The Internet has been billed by some proponents as an "electronic agora" ushering in a "new Athenian age of democracy." That assertion assumes that cyberspace's virtual environment is compatible with democratic practice. But the anonymous sociality that is intrinsic to the Internet seems at odds with theories of democracy that presuppose the possibility, at least, of face-to-face meetings among citizens. The Internet, then, raises provocative questions about democratic participation: Must the public sphere exist as a physical space? Does citizenship require a bodily presence? In Cybering Democracy, Diana Saco boldly reconceptualizes the relationship between democratic participation and spatial realities both actual and virtual. She argues that cyberspace must be viewed as a produced social space, one that fruitfully confounds the ordering conventions of our physical spaces. Within this innovative framework, Saco investigates recent and ongoing debates over cryptography, hacking,...
