I’m part of a panel discussion on ethics in social media this Friday, July 10 at the ING Direct Cafe in Waikiki. See the Social Media Club Hawaii site and an article called July 10 Meeting: Ethics in Social Media for more details.
If you can’t attend the meeting, there should be a live video stream starting around 5:30 PM Hawaii Time.
Roxanne Darling has posted Ethics in Social Media: A Glossary, including several relevant terms, models and concepts.
I’ll be discussing some concepts from the field of business ethics, including:
- privacy issues
- self-tests for ethical behavior
- regulation schemes for the social media, advertising and marketing industries
If you have a question that you’d like me to address, use the form at the Social Media Club Hawaii site, or DM me on Twitter or Facebook.
