The Ethical Conspiracy
"The internet’s information ecosystem is something that we now should recognize requires stewardship and not merely passive “consumership.” We have the ability to make choices about how we shape (or neglect to shape) the informational environment we’re sharing. The digital world doesn’t belong to any one of us. But it nonetheless requires all of us to be responsible (or more responsible!) for the condition we leave it in."

Godwin's Ethic

Integrity Is Not a Virtue. It's All the Virtues.
"you cannot be “partially” a person of integrity. The person who is scrupulously careful about accuracy in their professional life but cavalier about truth in their social media posts has not achieved fractional integrity—they have revealed that their commitment to truth is a convenience, exercised when it costs nothing and set aside when it does."

Opinion | Trump’s Slush Fund Will Reward Criminals. Americans Will Pay for It.

The president’s corruption and subversion of democratic tradition risk becoming the norm.
