The Need for a Code of Ethics on Internet Usage

To understand the issue of internet ethics, you must first have a basic understanding of how the internet actually works.

Although the internet actually came into being by the American military in 1969, it wasn’t until 1989 that the World Wide Web was created in Switzerland. Today there are some 400 million people regularly using the internet for both personal and business matters.

The internet was originally designed as a closed network for military and then academic purposes and, because of this closed nature dealing with specific issues, the problem of online ethics was not foreseen.

Only the intellectual few were able to use the internet in its early days and as such, a set of values seen as inherent in these individuals was basically seen as the ‘code of conduct’. Therefore, acceptance of disagreement and aversion to restraint were seen as acceptable at that time.

The growth of the Internet has been incredible and more and more people are using it for increasingly longer periods to do more things. No longer is the internet the property of the intellectual few. In many societies, the internet can be accessed by almost all citizens. If they don’t have the internet at home, it can normally be accessed through academic institutions or libraries.

Although the internet was first developed for Americans, it has long since ceased to be an American phenomenon although around two thirds of users are still Americans. At the moment, the debate is basically between the USA and Western Europe. However, as Internet growth continues, so does the need to accommodate a broader range of cultures and value systems.

Understanding the need for ethics on the internet requires a basic understanding of the nature of the internet and the services it provides.

The main forms of content are the World Wide Web, Email, Chat rooms, and Usenet newsgroups.

The World Wide Web which now consists of over one billion sites that range from the simple personal homepage that many people have today right up to the very sophisticated sites of professional businesses.

Email allows instant communication with other internet users worldwide. The implications of this ability in business are enormous.

There are around 40 thousand chat rooms online. These are generally focussed on a particular subject or group of people and allows people to communicate either one on one or in groups. This ability has certainly made the world a smaller place, particularly for those who have family and friends in other countries.

There are also around 40 thousand newsgroups that enable people to share articles about a range of different subjects. These can range from the technical to the bizarre. Sometimes the ethics of the more sexually bizarre can come into debate.

So how can a code of ethics be applied to services of the internet? There are a number of things that need to be considered but, particularly where there are children, parental supervision cannot be surpassed.

The internet is made up of many networks and this continues to grow. The services all have different characteristics that need to be treated differently so any ethics debate must take this into account.

There are many different people involved in the internet and these people all have different agendas. There are companies who specialise in internet infrastructure, Internet Service Providers, as well as those who provide content. Not all companies provide services to all chat rooms or newsgroups and so forth. Therefore, ethics can only be applied when it is known who has the control and responsibility for all of these services.

With the ever increasing populace of the internet, this call for ethics has become global and is not restricted to the specialists but to the general public who want solutions that are practical and focussed.

The World Wide Web needs to be seen as part of society rather than as a separate entity and, as such, it should be subject to the same values and ethics as we expect in offline business. It is a fundamental aspect of modern day business and should not be seen as a value free zone.

Issues such as copyright, child pornography, consumer protection, racial vilification and so forth need to be subject to the same laws and ethical standards as general society and more stringent controls put in place for the protection of the masses of people using the internet.

Failure to do so can only result in World Wide Anarchy via this medium of the internet. Is this the future we want for our children?

10 Things Parents Need To Know About Internet Pornography

No one wants to talk about pornography. It’s an awkward and uncomfortable subject, but if we don’t take the time to learn why pornography can be so destructive, we won’t have the knowledge that we need to protect our families.

During the past several years, I have had the opportunity to talk with plenty of people who emphatically said, “pornography is bad for you”, and I completely agree with them. But when I asked them why it’s bad, I got a lot of blank stares. The same people who felt so passionate about their beliefs only seemed to be repeating what they had heard from a friend, parent or religious advisor.

The truth is there are plenty of problems associated with pornography use. I would like to take this opportunity to explain, what I consider to be, ten of the more important issues concerning pornography abuse. I hope these ten points will shed some light on the darkness of this subject matter and arm you with some new tools that can help you keep yourself and your families safe.

1). Due to a lack of regulation, the Internet contains some of the darkest, most disturbing, and easily-accessible pornography ever created.
With the exception of child pornography, no other form of Internet pornography is vigorously investigated and prosecuted by law enforcement. Why? Because the courts cannot decide on whose definition of “pornography” to use, when the Internet is available to everyone, everywhere. Therefore, obscenity cases that were once routinely prosecuted are now stuck in limbo.

If that weren’t enough of a problem, the computers that are used to publish pornography to the Internet can exist anywhere—including countries with relaxed or non-existent obscenity laws—leaving the door wide open to pornographers to do what they want.

The combination of a lack of Internet regulations, law enforcement’s inability to prosecute obscenity laws, deteriorating social morals, and a -billion-dollar market for pornography worldwide has pornographers rushing-in to do anything and everything they can to grab as much of that money as possible, regardless of the harm they may cause to children, adults, and the performers themselves.

The end result is that the Internet has some of the darkest, most-disturbing, most-violent and easily-accessible pornography known to man. The Internet is not a family-friendly place. Don’t treat it like it is.

2). Pornography is not a victimless crime.
Some people would have you believe that pornography is a victimless crime. That is not true. Pornography frequently takes advantage of and abuses underage or barely-18-year-old individuals, luring them into the industry with promises of wealth and fame. Before these individuals can appreciate the magnitude of their decisions, they can be mentally and physically abused, contract sexually transmitted diseases including HIV, develop drug and drinking addictions, alienate themselves from family members, and succumb to the notion that pornography is all they will ever accomplish with their lives.

Other performers are enslaved through drug and drinking habits or are simply abducted into sex-slave rings. These performers are coerced either implicitly or explicitly into performing increasingly-degrading sexual acts, with little hope of escape.

When you view pornography or allow it to be viewed, you are contributing to the crimes and abuse being perpetuated against these unfortunate souls.

3). On the Internet, everything is connected to everything else
Everything on the Internet—websites, webpages, images, videos, etc.—is connected by hyperlinks (links) to everything else on the Internet. Just because your children visit family-friendly websites like Disney.com or Nickelodeon.com doesn’t mean they are safe.

With a couple of mouse clicks or by visiting less-scrupulous websites, your children could find themselves in the darker corners of the Internet very quickly. For example, youtube.com, a popular video hosting site, not only contains videos that are appropriate for children, but also videos that are nothing more than advertisements for adult websites.

Another problem occurs when, with a few clicks of the mouse, your children wander from a clean site to a more questionable site, and finally to a website that is completely inappropriate. These types of links often exist within forums, blogs and other social networking websites.

You should know what websites your children visit and check any external links from those websites. You should also consider making websites that have mixed content and questionable links off limits.

You should also be concerned about gateway websites. Similar in respect to gateway drugs, like smoking, drinking and marijuana, pornography has gateway websites. These sites contain softer, more subtle forms of pornography (e.g., bikini websites, lingerie websites, or “funny”-but-sexually-suggestive-video websites), but link to increasingly harder forms of porn. The danger being that an unaware individual can be lead along a path to abuse and addiction by visiting increasingly harder-pornographic websites in order to feed his fascination.

4). Internet pornography isn’t just on the Internet
Internet pornography is digital pornography, images and videos that can be easily copied and transported via a variety of different media and applications. In other words, a Web browser isn’t the only way to access Internet pornography in your home.

Digital pornography can be easily copied and saved onto your home computer, a CD, a DVD, a USB thumb drive, or external hard drive. It can be sent and received via email, instant messaging, peer-to-peer (P2P), and other applications that have nothing to do with a browser. You can also access pornography with a number of web-enabled devices, such as a PSP (Playstation Portable), XBOX, or cell phone.

Just because the browser’s history is clean doesn’t mean that someone isn’t accessing pornography in your home.

5). What’s legal and what’s not illegal
Is it legal for a website to allow your children to access pornography? Since adult websites aren’t being prosecuted for allowing minors to access pornography, it is essentially not illegal.

Some adult websites do use a warning page as their home page, with a simple question: “Are you an adult? Enter or Exit.” These warning pages often feature pornographic content and act more like a teaser than a security feature. After all, there is no real technology behind that question. It is up to the user—in some cases a curious child—to decide whether to click on the “Enter” or the “Exit” button.

Furthermore, as I have stated earlier, the only form of pornography that is regularly investigated and prosecuted is child pornography. Your children need to know that taking nude/sexual pictures of themselves or their friends—even if the pictures were taken jokingly or accidentally—could be considered by law enforcement as child pornography. There are, in fact, many minors who are facing child-pornography charges for doing just that.

Lastly, you and your children should understand that the Internet can be forever. What I mean by “forever” is that if your children post a nude/sexual picture of themselves on the Internet that image could remain in cyberspace forever, haunting them for the rest of their lives. Even if law enforcement gets involved, that doesn’t guarantee the image will be removed from the Internet.

6). Pornography is not sex
Some people believe that pornography is nothing more than a depiction of people doing “what comes naturally”. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Not only is pornography devoid of the emotional and spiritual aspects of a healthy intimate relationship, but it also portrays attitudes and behaviors that are completely contrary to the ideals of love, trust, respect, commitment, kindness, consideration, etc.

Surprisingly, there are people that use pornography to teach their children about sex. What a huge mistake. Pornography is absolutely toxic to healthy relationships and to the understanding of what a healthy relationship is. Do not use pornography to teach your children about sex.

Even more dangerous are “barely legal” forms of pornography and child pornography, which can confuse your children into thinking that relationships with older individuals are normal and even desirable. In fact, sexual predators often use these forms of pornography to condition children to the idea of sex, making them vulnerable to their advances.

Don’t use pornography to teach your children about sex. Don’t believe that just because your children are curious about sex, that looking at pornography is okay. It’s not, and you need to explain to them why it’s not.

7). Pornography can be addictive
For someone who is predisposed to sexual/pornography addiction, a single pornographic image can be enough to ignite a lifelong habit. Not everyone reacts to pornography the same way. Not everyone who views pornography will become an addict. But for those who do, pornography is considered to be one of the most addictive behaviors known to man.

If you have an addiction or someone in your family has an addiction, seek out professional help to overcome this disease. Don’t wait for the problem to become overwhelming and destroy your life. Seek out help.

8). Pornography doesn’t make us healthy
Dr. Mary Ann Layden, co-director of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Cognitive Therapy, said this about pornography:

“There are no studies and no data that indicate a benefit from pornography use. If there were a benefit, then pornography users, pornography performers, their spouses and their children would show the most benefit. Just the opposite is true. The society is awash in pornography and so in fact the data is in. If pornography made us healthy, we would be healthy by now.”

Pornography is not healthy for us. Besides causing addiction, pornography can also harm individuals directly and indirectly in the following ways:

Objectification of women—and men—as sex objects

Perpetuation of the “Rape Myth”

Developing deviant sexual attitudes and behaviors

Developing abusive attitudes and behaviors towards a spouse

Developing a sexual dissatisfaction toward a spouse

Devaluing and destabilizing marriage and family

Inability to form healthy relationships

Developing sexual-dysfunction problems

Being terminated for accessing pornography at work

Physically, emotionally or sexually abusing a spouse or other individuals

Divorce

Incarceration

And even suicide or death

No one is immune to the harm pornography use can cause. The damage may be subtle or more obvious, but if you are using pornography, you are being affected in some way.

9). Education is a big part of prevention
If your children have access to a computer and/or the Internet, you need to discuss with them the dangers of pornography. Don’t wait because they are younger and only like to visit juvenile websites. If they are on the Internet, they are participating in an adult world.

One accidental misspelling, one curious click on a link, or one “funny” email from a friend, and they could be exposed to absolute filth that they will find confusing and alarming. Use age-appropriate language to warn them about pornography and the Internet. Let them know that if they accidentally stumble upon some pornography, they should tell you immediately. These accidents are excellent opportunities to teach your children right from wrong and why they should avoid pornography.

10). Nothing can replace good, old-fashioned parental supervision
Deploying an Internet filter or firewall is a good first step for securing your home. However, filters and firewalls have limitations. They cannot block everything.

In fact, the best filters are only expected to block 91% of all pornographic content on the Internet, leaving thousands of adult websites and millions of pornographic images and videos unblocked.

Furthermore, today’s super-tech-savvy population can bypass a filter or firewall easily, using a number of methods that are common playground knowledge. Something as simple as your children keeping pornography on a CD or USB thumb drive might be enough to fool you into thinking that your home is safe.

You should absolutely use a filter to avoid accidental exposure, but nothing can replace good, old-fashioned parental supervision. You need to know what your family is doing on your home computer; how they are using the Internet; what websites they are visiting; if they have CDs, DVDs, thumb drives, or external hard drives; what other web-enabled devices do they have; where are any wireless networks in your community; and much more.

You have no choice but to take the time to learn about computers and the Internet so that you can properly supervise their use. Local colleges, business and community centers offer a variety of courses that can help you learn how to protect your family and monitor your home computer.

There are also a number of tools that you can use, such as SurfRecon’s pornography-detection software, to help you quickly detect porn hidden on a computer or other digital device/media. Besides helping you to find hidden pornography, pornography-detection tools can act as a deterrent within your home, helping family members act more responsibly when using the Internet.

One last word of warning If discussing the topic of pornography has made you curious, and you are entertaining any thoughts that you might want to see it for yourself, STOP. Dabbling with pornography “just to see” is like shooting up with heroin… just to see what’s it like. If you are predisposed to addiction, you are going to find out quickly, and the consequences can be devastating.

Stay away from pornography, keep your family away from pornography, and be aware of how and where it can attack you and your family.

Hopefully, this information has given you some ideas for how you can better protect yourself and your family. More importantly, the next time someone asks you why you think pornography is “bad,” not only will you have some answers for him, but you can also help him understand why he should stay away from pornography as well.

Why Do You Need a Porn Filter?

Everyone can access pornography on the Internet. No government legislation has succeeded to establish a systematic way to ensure that children are not exposed to pornography. And equally as disturbing, the type of pornographic content that is available on the internet is hardcore and disturbing for any audience.

Given the circumstances, with virtually every home being connected to the Internet and so many children spending hours online without any supervision, it is imperative for every home with a computer to install a porn filter. Otherwise, it is almost a gurantee that children will be exposed to porn in their own home by the age of 11. Any child old enough to click, can be exposed to pornography.

Parents need to be proactive about blocking porn from their homes. Even when a child is not seeking out porn sites on purpose, there is a high likelihood that he will see online pornography. Friends will send links to websites that they suggest he visit or he may search for something seemingly innocent and yet end up on an adult sex site. For years, the site whitehouse.com was one of the most popular porn sites.

There is no other way. Agreeing on rules about Internet use is important is every household. But no matter how trusting an environment you have in your home, porn can still sneak in. Installing a porn filter is inexpensive and takes minutes. And once installed, parents can feel much more comfortable about children surfing without direct supervision.

Adults are also becoming more susceptible to the temptations of online pornography. So why not just filter porn from everyone in the house?

Parents should be in control of what content is allowed in their home- the same way no one would bring porn videos into the house, you should be able to stop pornography websites from appearing on your computer screens.

Here are 5 key issues to consider in choosing a porn filter:
1. Make sure the porn filter is coming from a reliable software vendor. When you install any software on your computer, you are exposing yourself, your data and your computer security. Try to see if the product has been reviewed by a reliable third party like CNET or ZDNet.

2. Use the filter software before buying it. If they do not offer a free trial, think twice.

3. Check the porn filter’s accuracy. You don’t want it to block news and sports. Test accuracy when you try the free trial. But note – even the best porn filters are not 100% accurate.

4. A good porn filter will block porn if you install it and set it up correctly. Make sure it is easy enough for you to understand and use. If you have questions, check if their customer support provides answers.

5. More than filtering porn. You are likely interested in blocking more than pornography.  A good web filter includes a variety of content categories that can be filtered and it should do more than filter Internet content. Check if the solution manages the time spent online, whether the filter can be customized using keywords, if individual profiles can be set for 
each user, and if the password protection mechanism is strong.

Need Help for Porn Addiction?

Do you need help for porn addiction? Do you find it hard to give up your habit and despite your best intentions you keep falling back into the pit from where you climbed from? If so you need to take a good long look at the processes you use to try to quit.

Most people when trying to quit think a mix of willpower and denial of their addictive choice will be enough to cure them and some find limited success but like most smokers who try to quit by throwing away their packs of cigarettes and vowing never to touch them again a moment of weakness can slide them right back to square one in a matter of minutes; the same can be said of porn addiction. When a porn addict deletes all of his porn, unsubscribe from porn sites and can even put site blockers in an attempt to block out the temptation they are trying to solve their problem from a top down approach that leaves the root cause of the addiction still thriving.

With porn addiction there is no chemical high or withdrawal associated with it but it is addictive because as a behavior it can damage your life and the lives of those around you and even armed with this knowledge they still go back to their habit and just feel guilty afterwards. This is the insidious curse of any addiction, luckily if you have progressed past denial of a problem you have overcome a significant hurdle and you should take heart.

Self knowledge and introspection are powerful tools you will need to overcome your addiction, as has been said taking a top down approach leaves the roots of the problems thriving so you need to discover the roots of your addiction and overcome these deep seated problems before you can topple the whole addiction, chip away at the base if you will to fell the tree. Most attribute low self esteem as the main cause of porn addiction but there can be other causes, also the cause of that low self esteem is different from person to person so it becomes painfully obvious there is not simple one shot cure you can apply to everyone. To truly cure your addiction you must take a personalized approach and unless you have others to help you your primarily tools are your own sense of self reflection.

While this may seem daunting at first it is also an opportunity to not just stop an addiction but can also be a way to better understand yourself and your motives and weaknesses to a degree where you can find solutions to other problems in your life. Many people who come out of addictions find themselves changed people with a better outlook on life and find success in many areas which eluded them before. So think from the bottom up not the top down and you will find your cure!


Need Help With Porn Addiction?

If you suffer from porn addiction or know someone who does you may understand that like all behavioral addictions like gambling addictions and so on they are not so easy to break by just sheer willpower. Not to dismiss willpower as an important aspect of recovery but help with porn addiction needs to start at the root causes of the issues that have leads the person in question to such an unhealthy habit.

While practical steps such as deleting all the porn from your computer and unsubscribing to any porn sites you may belong to may help, this is just like someone trying to quit smoking throwing away a packed of cigarettes to stop them smoking. It is not a bad idea but it does not stop them going out and buying another pack in a moment of weakness just as a porn addict can always find more porn. Again I do not want to dismiss practical measures and those that really to want to kick their addiction to pornography online and other wise should defiantly get rid of any easy access to their chosen obsession to help them and their willpower to overcome their problems.

However the real thing a person must do to be free of any addiction is to understand their root cause of the addiction and then take steps to solve that problem. Just pruning a tree does not kill it and it will grow back, you must uproot it completely and that is exactly what an addict must do with his addiction; uproot it.

Typically most commentators on pornography addiction lay the blame at low self esteem which drives men to seek easy sexual gratification online especially. This however may not be the only cause though it is prominent; other causes have been a warped image of women and sex from an early age driving them to porn because it fits their image of sex more than real life. Some considered better adjusted men have become addicted because they believed their sex life was boring and used porn as an outlet for more exciting and titillating adult entertainment but spiraled into addiction because of it. In the end even the most common cause being low self esteem has a multitude of reasons for each person so there can be no cookie cutter solution. Instead a more personalized approach must be taken to curing this addiction.

Knowing is half the battle the old adage says and it is very true, knowing the cause intimately allows someone who is willing to tackle this problem the ammunition to fight it honestly without self deception or a warped view that may hinder their attempts. While therapy is often used you can also do this yourself with the right mindset of introspection and self analysis. To be armed with information about addiction in general and the unreality of porn is also an asset one must take into battle against their addiction.

If you require more help with porn addiction you may need to seek professional advice that cannot be said within the confines of an article but I hope that this has shed some light on their condition and has given you a head start to finding a cure and leading a better life.
