Yes. And thanks very much for this. It's hard to tell - but a good portion of this reads more or less straight out of the AoIR ethics guidelines, including the draft for Internet Research Ethics 3.0 distributed last fall in conjunction with the annual conference. Including the emphases on moving away from "rule-book" / tick-box approaches to what we call (along with many others) dialogical / process-oriented ethics grounded in the fine-grained specifics of a given case. The invocation of care (thereby, I suppose, more specifically (feminist) care ethics) is also intriguing. This is in part because over the past few years (since 2014 or so), I've been seeing more such invocations from network engineers (yes, this means you, AoIRist Bendert Zevenbergen) and computer scientists, including the ethical backgrounds to the emerging standards for "ethically-aligned design" by the IEEE. Let me hastily clarify: I'm _not_ at all saying there was some sort of plagiarism. Though it would be very interesting and helpful to know what her sources are, e.g., the newest ACM guidelines, the IEEE project, or perhaps even the AoIR guidelines, just so that we can incorporate the article in our resource list and have a better sense of where it might best be indexed, etc. However that may be: I _am_ saying there's a wonderful consonance / resonance, which I take to be a Very Good Thing. Indeed, in light of the past four decades or so of efforts towards better dialogue and cooperation between the more philosophical / applied ethics folk and the multiple professional communities directly engaged with the engineering, design, and implementation of these technologies - these sorts of endorsements within the latter communities of such nuanced and demanding ethical approaches is a remarkable and, in my view, most propitious development. Thanks for sharing! - charles ess On 26/03/2019 09:20, Joly MacFie wrote:

*Scientists... have an ethical obligation to exercise a higher standard of care for people in more vulnerable positions, and this should extend to collecting data from potentially vulnerable groups in digital spaces.*
