This type of "code of ethical principles" in the use of information contained in social networks should be created on a national and cross-polar basis. In this perspective, the "code of ethical principles" should be closely correlated with the binding standards of business ethics and legal regulations for conducting business in a given country. Such "ethical codes" create for their own needs some companies that operate in Internet marketing and use data obtained from posts, comments and posts contained on social media portals for this commercially-run marketing activity and in the field of information services.
Research on this issue shows that more and more technology and marketing companies obtain information from entries, posts, comments posted by Internet users, including users of social media portals.
The information collected from these sources from these websites is aggregated in Big Data database systems and processed mainly for the purpose of their use in the marketing activity of a given technology company or for the needs of other companies that are its clients.
In the context of the information downloaded in this way and their use for commercial purposes, a question arises regarding the ethics of this activity.
In my opinion, to ethically use the discussions, content of entries, posts posted on social media portals, it is necessary to acquire and process this scientific data using the principle of anonymity of aggregation and data processing for the needs of research, apply an objective research approach, comply with applicable ethics standards of research and in accordance with applicable law.
However, taking into account the growing Internet marketing sector, the need to develop a national or international "code of ethical principles" in the area of business use of information downloaded from social media portals may emerge more and more often.
In view of the above, I am asking you: Should there be a "code of ethical principles" in the field of business use of information downloaded from social media portals?
Please reply. I invite you to the discussion
Since will call it social media, then I find it unnecessary to introduce such "restrictions"
Hi, I evaluate these things using Ockhams razor.If individuals are willing to disclose information, then that information is a legitimate data source and does not require regulation. This is not the case with unpublished or unconsciously published information. Here is (in my understanding) the real problem.
In my opinion, there should be a code of ethical principles in the field of business use of information downloaded from social media portals. This code of ethical principles should:
(a) Establish under which conditions the information downloaded from social media portals should be used for business staff and the sanctions to be applied in case of the violation of the code;
(b) Describes values and principles that all business staff should follow when use of information downloaded from social media portals;
(c) Describes procedures to help business staff to make ethical decisions on how to use of information downloaded from social media portals, and to deal with violations of the values, principles, rules and policies established by the code;
(d)Resolve doubts related to conduct and ethical behavior of the business staff in the use of the information downloaded from social media portals;
(e) Provide advice on the use of the information downloaded from social media portals to the business staff;
(f) Understand how policies and procedures regarding ethical conduct apply to the business staff on the use of information downloaded from social media portals;
(g) Feel confident that the business conduct on the use of information downloaded from social media portals is appropriate and ethical;
The adherence to a code of ethical principles mentioned above represents a personal and professional commitment to business values of respect and integrity.
The rapid growth of social media and the volume of information now available online will make this difficult; however, it would be excellent to have this safeguard. I believe that continued growth in plagiarism detection will help to some extent, but a code would definitely be useful.
Recent events may force business to be ethical in how they reuse and or repurpose information from social media sites. Businesses have been and will continue to set their own ‘ethical principles/policies’ for using information found on social networking sites.
