Digital ethics deals with the impact of digital Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on societies and the environment at large. In a narrower sense digital media ethics addresses ethical questions dealing with the internet and internetworked information and communication media such as mobile phones and navigation services. Digital ethical issues such as privacy, information overload, internet addiction, digital divide, surveillance and robotics are discussed in detail today particularly from an intercultural perspective. It can be said that digital ethics contributes to address the challenges of the digital age. Education is one of the challenges addressed in the digital age. The educational challenge raised by digital culture is not one of skill or technological competence, but one of participation and ethics. Accordingly, digital education would move far beyond the current attempts to expand curriculum definitions of competences and capacities. There are now almost continuous public calls for heightened child protection and surveillance in response to widespread moral panic around digital childhood. The everyday issues faced by digital youth revolve around ethical matters. How do today’s young people and children deal with right and wrong, truth and falsehood, representation and misrepresentation in their everyday lives online? How do they anticipate and live with and around the real consequences of their online actions and interactions with others? How do they navigate the complexities of their public exchanges and their private lives, and how do they engage with parental, corporate, and government surveillance? Finally, how can they engage and participate as citizens, consumers and workers, friends, colleagues, and kin in the public and political, cultural and economic spheres of the internet? These questions will be examined in this paper.
