...?Computer Ethics The “Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics” were put forward by the Computer Ethics institute in 1992 and acts as a starting point in specifying the general principles one must follow when one uses computers.

For example, I believe that it would be wrong to cheat on an exam, but there may be others that differ... from that...
