“…Here, we wish to address concerns that go beyond their initial treatment of the topic. More recently, O'Brolcháin et al (2016) have covered ways in which the conjunction of VR with social networks might raise threats to privacy and autonomy. We will engage with some of their concerns at various points below.…”

The overall ethical risks of this imminent development have been covered in detail by O'Brolcháin et al (2016); in this section, we will incorporate and expand on their discussion with a focus on questions of research ethics.…”

“…Privacy is, of course, a major concern with contemporary information technology (van den Hoven et al, 2014), and there are further concerns about privacy with the foreseeable convergence between VR and social networks (O'Brolcháin et al, 2016). Here, we wish to offer only a few quick remarks on this topic, noting that this issue deserves further attention.…”

The goal of this article is to present a first list of ethical concerns that may arise from research and personal use of virtual reality (VR) and related technology, and to offer concrete recommendations for minimizing those risks. Many of the recommendations call for focused research initiatives. In the first part of the article, we discuss the relevant evidence from psychology that motivates our concerns. In Section "Plasticity in the Human Mind," we cover some of the main results suggesting that one's environment can influence one's psychological states, as well as recent work on inducing illusions of embodiment. Then, in Section "Illusions of Embodiment and Their Lasting Effect," we go on to discuss recent evidence indicating that immersion in VR can have psychological effects that last after leaving the virtual environment. In the second part of the article, we turn to the risks and recommendations. We begin, in Section "The Research Ethics of VR," with the research ethics of VR, covering six main topics: the limits of experimental environments, informed consent, clinical risks, dual-use, online research, and a general point about the limitations of a code of conduct for research. Then, in Section "Risks for Individuals and Society," we turn to the risks of VR for the general public, covering four main topics: long-term immersion, neglect of the social and physical environment, risky content, and privacy. We offer concrete recommendations for each of these 10 topics, summarized in Table 1.

“…Internet turut mengubah masyarakat dalam berkomunikasi, berinteraksi, mengakses informasi, dan menikmati sisi hiburan (O"Brolchain, Jacquemard, Monaghan, O"Connor, Novitzky, & Gordijn, 2016). Kadangkala tidak jarang unsur hiburan lebih sering ditemukan dalam suatu iklan dibanding sisi edukatif (Lister, Royne, Payne, Cannon, Hanson, & Barnes, 2015).…”

AbstrakPergeseran media beriklan dari tradisional ke arah daring semakin banyak digunakan. Populasi kelompok milenial dalam hal ini menjadi faktor penting. Teknologi internet yang semakin canggih dan kebiasaan masyarakat yang berada pada kelompok generasi internet merupakan faktor-faktor penting di dalamnya. Kebiasaan yang ada pada kelompok tersebut mau tidak mau menjadikan kelompok tersebut akan lebih terbiasa untuk menikmati iklan-iklan berbasis daring. Sama halnya dengan media tradisional, iklan berbasis daring pun memiliki beberapa faktor yang ingin dicapai, yaitu informatif, sisi hiburan, kredibilitas, sisi ekonomis, dan nilai dari iklan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu apakah faktor-faktor tersebut memiliki pengaruh pada perilaku kelompok milenial pada iklan berbasis daring. Dengan melibatkan 100 responden yang diolah dengan SMART PLS 3.0, maka diperoleh hasil bahwa sisi hiburan dan nilai dari iklan masih belum dapat mempengaruhi perilaku lebih lanjut dari iklan yang dinikmati kelompok milenial tersebut. Penggunaan efek animasi dan jejak rekam berselancar dari kelompok milenial dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai saran. Penelitian berikutnya juga dapat menggunakan media beriklan secara daring yang spesifik seperti youtube. Kata kunci: kepercayaan, iklan, milenial, minat beli, daring

“…The rationale behind this practice is that, the more members registered, the more potential consumers targeted and then the more money will be collected. With such unethical practices, however, social networks would infringe users' autonomy and privacy (O'Brolchain, Jacquemard et al 2015). Examples of misleading advertising practices exist in almost all domains.…”

The Internet has revolutionized the way knowledge is currently produced, stored and disseminated. A few finger clicks on a keyboard can save time and many hours of search in libraries or shopping in stores. Online trademarks with an (e-) prefix such as e-Library, eBusiness, e-Health etc., are increasingly part of our daily professional vocabularies. However, the Internet has also produced multiple negative side effects, ranging from an unhealthy dependency to a dehumanization of human relationships. Fraudulent, unethical and scam practices are also flourishing through for example misleading online advertising methods. Some social and professional networks gather users' profiles for selling and advertising purposes, sometimes by making it technically difficult to unsubscribe. Here, I discuss some of these unethical aspects and propose some potential solutions to reduce them.Keywords: online advertising, misleading advertising, internet misuse, advertising ethics, misleading advertisement, social network, professional network.The Internet is one of the most impressive inventions in history. The list of online based services is getting longer every day in most professional and entertainment fields. Almost each real life activity has now its virtual counterpart on the Internet by simply adding the prefix (e-) to get an established online equivalent, such as e-commerce, e-book, e-bank, e-library, e-ticket, e-learning, e-shopping, etc.). Indisputably, the Internet has facilitated the communication and the diffusion of knowledge worldwide in an unprecedented way, turning upside down the notion of time and distance. Conversely, the internet has also opened large windows for all kinds of unethical and cheating practices, ranging from dependency and addiction (Shaw and Black 2008) to complex frauds and scams. Entire businesses models have been built online and operate with or without ethical rules. Among these, intemperate and annoying advertising practices where online pages are increasingly flooded with all kinds of advertisements (ads) that dilute the information flow and distract readers from their reading focus. The Internet has become one of the most effective mass platforms for the direct-to-consumer advertising services to advertise any sort of beneficial or harmful, useful or useless products.
