C10. Ethical dimensions of the Information Society The
Information Society should be subject to universally held values
and promote the common good and to prevent abusive uses of ICTs.
Take steps to promote respect for peace and to uphold the
fundamental values of freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance,
shared responsibility, and respect for nature. All stakeholders
should increase their awareness of the ethical dimension of
their use of ICTs. All actors in the Information Society should
promote the common good, protect privacy and personal data and
take appropriate actions and preventive measures, as determined
by law, against abusive uses of ICTs such as illegal and other
acts motivated by racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and
related intolerance, hatred, violence, all forms of child abuse,
including paedophilia and child pornography, and trafficking in,
and exploitation of, human beings. Invite relevant stakeholders,
especially the academia, to continue research on ethical
dimensions of ICTs. So
