Back to Information Ethics

After some time away, I'm back to writing and doing research in Information Ethics. My first project is to do an Ethics Quiz. Years ago, I published an ethics quiz, and I'm going to work on another one. Let me know if you have any cases that might work for a question on the ethics quiz. I'll post the format here.
