Although from a philosophical standpoint i believe that there is no universal right and wrong, i do believe that there is a right and wrong because God has told us something is right or wrong. That is to say, humankind without a god or moral background will not have an sense of what is right and wrong
There are a lot of ethical flaws in communications and networking across the globe. I believe that the internet is a great place. We learn, shop, and communicate via the internet. I believe it is the correct way of thinking to keep it anonymous, relatively unregulated, and able to speak without fear of prosecution. With that said some things should certainly not be OK. Sexual conduction involving adults and children as well as blatant cyberbullying of people you personally know are just a couple of examples of things i would consider unacceptable. The only censorship should be things like this.
As much as i hate spam, ads, and malware, i believe that people have the right to use them. Any problem that affects society as a result of its use is reduced by software developed by companies looking to rid potential costumers of their problem. Gmail is one such company. To encourage people to use Gmail and Google products they have filters to recognize spam and ads. The ad-block add-on to Chrome gets a lot of donations simply because of the convenience of watching videos and visiting websites with annoying and noisy ads.
