[alicebot-aiethics] How should we respond to this?

[Dekker Dreyer]

the disclaimer doesn't need to address any particular ethical system. The
disclaimer would only have to state what is going to happen to the data and
that the data is being collected. It is then up to the user to use the
service or not use the service.

As far as the legal jurisdictions go I think that's you have a an
interesting point. Does anyone know of any Internet or research experiment
privacy cases with international participants?

Jonathan Brody brought this Salon article to my attention on another list,
(http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2001/07/13/museum_security_network/index.

It's about misuse of an international e-mailing list, but the verdict hasn't
been decided.
