Over the last few decades information and communication technology has
come to play an increasingly prominent role in our dealings with other

raised and debated. Ethics in Cyberspace focuses on the consequences
for ethical agency of mediating interaction by means of computers,

differences may come to affect the behaviour of interacting agents in
terms of ethics.
