Computer Ethics

In his classic paper, “What is Computer Ethics?”, James Moor introduces the concept of a
“policy vacuum”. Explain what he means by this concept and the role it plays in his
argument for the importance of computer ethics as a discipline. How does it relate to other
concepts he introduces, such as “logical malleability” and “conceptual muddles”? Do you
find the idea of a policy vacuum to be a helpful concept for analyzing issues in ethics and
information technology? Is Moor’s argument convincing? Support your argument with
examples of your own.
