Principles for ethical technology use

[James Cameron]

Before sending a mail, writing code, editing a Wiki page, releasing an
activity, or pressing enter on IRC;

<quote>

1.  [...] would it be alright if everyone did it?

2.  Is this going to harm or dehumanise anyone, even people I don’t
know and will never meet?

3.  Do I have the informed consent of those who will be affected?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no”, then it is arguably
unethical to do it.
