    Attempting to "customize" the internet through personal ideologies and unfortunate commercial ideas is a common error amongst users The aim of this Digital Ethics Charter(CED) is to trace the ethical line of conduct that addresses the correct approach to the "Infosphere", where "info" refers to the world of digital information.

    The internet has been and is still an instrument capable of providing free reliable information to those who, adopting appropriate precautions, have the opportunity to inform and be informed. Before asking for "net neutrality" it is necessary that users of technological resources approach the web in an unbiased way, avoiding the influence of the social and economic interests that afflict censors and anti-liberal standards.

    The increasingly dynamic application of ICT in the social field, despite offering enormous opportunities for development, is creating new ethical and social issues as well as influencing existing ones ICT pervades society to such an extent that it renders the traditional models of representation and interpretation of ethics obsolete, requiring an inevitable evolution of these as envisioned in the Digital Ethics Charter.

    Therefore, the application of ethics to new technologies poses important questions by shifting the focus of attention away from virtue or utilitarianism, which base the moral evaluation on the agent, and towards the ethics of the patient, or the entity that undergoes the action.

    The search for a digital code of ethics regards any information entity as a possible patient, and identifies not only humans but also the use of technology among the class of agents.

    The Digital Ethics Charter originates from this perspective, and by focusing on the centrality of human, becomes a reference point for a process of interaction between citizens, governments and companies in the digital domain.

    Despite the limited number of articles, the Digital Ethics Charter addresses a number of matters relating to the conduct that day after day comes to the attention of users of new digital communication technologies.
