Week 11 - What's Trending Now?

We were given 3 questions at the start of the lecture this week:


1. Would monitoring employees at work via technology be ethical?

We thought that monitoring employees at work is ethical. You should be paid to do your job and if you are, you would have nothing to hide. If shop assistants and waiters are monitored by CCTV, monitoring employees at work via technology should be allowed. 

2. Under what circumstances is it ethical to use customer data of another company analysis?

It is ethical to use customer data of another company analysis as long as there is respect towards privacy and the protection of customers. The best way this would work was if the customers were fully aware that their data was being analysed.  


3. Is it ethical for Facebook to display News Feed stories to raise user moods on Facebook?

We believed that it wasn't ethical for Facebook to display news feed stories to raise the moods of its users. We thought that it was unnatural and dangerous that social media could have such a power over its users. It should not be able to manipulate the emotions of a user.
