The digital transformations of the last decades have been profound. Their impact has created significant changes for our sense of self and relationships / interactions (i.e. Burr et al. 2020). These same factors have meant that ‘our individual and social wellbeing is now intimately connected with the state of our information environment’ (Burr et al. 2020:2313).
A plurality of interrelated social, cultural and technological issues arise from this state of affairs. In turn, this has meant that ‘for what was originally conceived as an open and unregulated space, the internet has become the focus of a great deal of policy, law and governance’ (Whiting & Prichard, 2017: 6). In the notional societal space created by our rapid digital development, we must navigate a range of issues that encompass data big and small, privacy, good behaviour from a variety of standpoints.
In this report, we seek to understand how a digital ethics lens can be applied to digital inclusion settings.
