About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Reaction to the draft of the bloggers code of conduct

The trolls are on the move... incredible noise level about the proposed draft of the bloggers code of conduct - requiring a minimum of civility in comments posted on blogs. Good article in the Guardian on the reactions. In case you missed the beginning, some people are saying that it is right to delete offensive and abusive comments. Unacceptable material would be comments used to abuse, harass, stalk or threaten others, is libellous or misrepresentative, infringes copyright, confidentiality or privacy rights. There is also some debate about anonymous postings.
