This essay examines the ethical implications of the internet, particularly focusing on the concerns raised by Julian Assange regarding government spying and surveillance. The essay analyzes these issues through the lens of four classical ethical theories: utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, and contract theory. It explores how the pervasive nature of the internet and social media platforms like Facebook facilitate actions that infringe on user privacy, security, and intellectual property. The analysis highlights the conflicts between these actions and the principles of each ethical framework, discussing issues such as the greater good, moral duties, virtuous behavior, and social contracts. The essay concludes by suggesting the need for stringent laws and improved ethical conduct among individuals to address these challenges.
