Abstract: IT creates new human action options, causing ethical dilemmas and a policy vacuum. Computer ethics evaluates novel options and fills policy gaps. Conceptual entropy is crucial to this paper. Standard ethics fails to handle "IT" ethical challenges. Because IT is still new and new applications are being developed, it discusses how new technology bring ethical difficulties. This paper advocates "sociotechnical ethics." Sociotechnical ethics supplements and avoids the usual account, but it does not simplify IT ethics. The sociotechnical perspective emphasises the interconnectedness of social and technology factors and warns us against thinking we can separate them. This should make our judgements more credible and well- informed, but it will require more complex investigation. We showed that IT applications are sociotechnical systems—combinations of software, hardware, and social practices that impact human behaviour, both individually and collectively. Viewing these systems as sociotechnical systems allows for deeper investigations and more ethical IT solutions. This integrates sociotechnical computer ethics with ethical frameworks. This is how we examine IT-enabled society ethics. The Internet and WWW have enabled cross-border electronic communities. Configuring internet communities affects our lives as more people communicate online. Governments, corporations, and technologists decide most of these decisions. Economic, educational, and social activities are changing rapidly. To determine rights and wrongs in these new IT-enabled societies, we used ethical analysis to investigate IT communication characteristics: We examined the intricate interplay between IT, democracy, and free expression. This analysis stressed that decisions, not "nature," drive Internet and IT system evolution. Ethical analysis will make these issues more evident and help societies make better decisions.
