The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics are a code of behavior for users and developers of information technology. It was developed by the Computer Ethics Insitute (Washington, DC) and written by its president, Dr. Ramon C. Barquin as part of a keynote speech he delivered at the 1991 National Computer Ethics Conference at the Brookings Institution. They are:
- Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people.
- Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work.
- Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's computer files.
- Thou shalt not use a computer to steal.
- Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness.
- Thou shalt not copy or use proprietary software for which you have not paid.
- Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization or proper compensation.
- Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output.
- Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you are writing or the system you are designing.
- Thou shalt always use a computer in ways that ensure consideration and
respect for your fellow humans.

∙ 12y agoComputer ethics is the ethical use of a computer by a human. For example, using a computer to access Facebook when you at work and are supposed to be finishing a report would be considered unethical. On the other hand, doing the same thing on your own personal time would be considered ethical.

∙ 10y agoEthical is doing something good or doing it in a fair manner. In terms of computing that would be things like not using it to hack into systems, or storing personal information about someone else without their knowledge, or using it for criminal activity. It would mean following rules and guidelines in relation to use of data, which many organisations and public bodies and companies are subject to. Any information that they hold, they must have collected fairly, have it properly secured, not sell it on to others, not use it for purposes that are different to what they said they were going to do with it, not abusing people's privacy and so on. There are laws in many countries setting out how computerised information can be used.
