It serves as a reference for students, researchers, and professionals in relevant fields, as well as for a broad audience of internet users. Building upon a review of the history and development of the internet and an overview of the current state of internet ethics research, the book acknowledges the significant contributions of the internet to human society while employing ethical and systemic perspectives to explain the root causes of internet ethics crises, various unethical behaviors online, their manifestations, and the paradoxes they create with the nature of the internet and real-world ethics. It analyzes issues such as internet privacy crises, the alienation of individuals by the internet, crises in online relationships, the dangers of online dating, internet intellectual property crises, ethical issues in e-commerce, information public safety crises, internet crimes, and internet national security crises, summarizing these behaviors as internet ethics crises. On this basis, it proposes the establishment of a new internet ethics framework, upholding socialism online, developing relevant internet legal frameworks and management systems, and ultimately expresses hope for a networked society governed by ethical norms.
