For our course project, we have chosen to focus on Module Three: Data Brokers. We believe this is an important topic as it highlights the concept of ethical internet usage. Understanding how personal data is collected, stored, and sold is essential in today’s digital world.

Our goal is to explore how data brokers operate and why this knowledge is crucial for high school students. By learning about online data collection, students can make more informed decisions about their privacy, recognize potential risks, and develop responsible digital habits.

(via The 10 Commandment of Internet Ethics)

When reading Wikipedia’s 1992 Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics you can easily substitute “Internet” for “computer” and it’s amazing what you see…., for example the 1stCommandment “You shall not use the Internet to harm other people.”  Here are all Ten Commandments of Internet Ethics (with my minor edits):

You shall not use the Internet to harm other people.

You shall not interfere with other people’s Internet work.

You shall not snoop around in other people’s Internet files.

You shall not use the Internet to steal.
