Description: Communication is complicated and so is the ethics of communication. We communicate about innumerable topics to varied audiences using a gamut of technologies. The ethics of communication therefore has to address a wide range of technical ethical and epistemic requirements. In this book Onora O Neill shows how digital technologies have made communication more demanding: they can support communication with huge numbers of distant and dispersed recipients; they can amplify or suppress selected content; and they can target or ignore selected audiences. Often this is done anonymously making it harder for readers and listeners viewers and browsers to assess which claims are true or false reliable or misleading flaky or fake. So how can we empower users to assess and evaluate digital communication so that they can tell which standards it meets and which it flouts? That is the challenge which this book explores.
