CCU professor discusses the ethics of social media
Fitsanakis has spent much of his academic career exploring the dark side of the digital frontier, focusing on subjects such as cyberespionage, cyberterrorism and cybersabotage. In his presentation, he will outline the ethical issues arising from the exceptional growth of social media and will relate them to routine aspects of our everyday lives. Among other things, he will explore the following questions: Does social media make us more hostile toward each other? Why is cyberbullying such a common phenomenon? How safe are we online?
