Widespread use of the Internet has led to an increase in certain crimes such as information theft and to new crimes like hacking. This seems due, at least in part, to the impersonal nature of the Internet. People seem to feel more free to harm others through the Internet than in person, suggesting that people feel less morally constrained when they use the Internet. For this reason, steps should be taken to educate people about the ethical use of the Internet.
The principle that 'the more educated that people are about the ethical usage of the Internet, the greater the amount of harm that they can do to others' most helps to justify the reasoning in the argument.
