“…This makes it desirable from a normative point of view to empower sharing partners to take advantage of the platform economy’s flexibility without sacrificing the benefits of income generation and consumption. While we support the view taken by libertarian approaches to the sharing economy (e.g., Farren et al, 2016) and business ethics more generally (Brennan & Jaworski, 2016; Hasnas, 1998, 2013; Heath, 2014; Jaworski, 2014) that private rule innovations—by entrepreneurs and companies, and supported by civil society—can promote the interests of both sharing partners and society, we argue that the same holds true for public rule innovations, provided that governments follow an adequate second-order approach to regulation. Even if one concedes that government has grown too big and powerful (cf.…”

Can private companies legitimately regulate sharing markets, and if yes, how? Whereas scholars have either criticized sharing platforms for expanding into private and public arenas or welcomed them to counterbalance encroaching government regulations, studies document their unbridled popularity. On the basis of a special version of social contracts theory pioneered by James Buchanan, we develop a heuristics that helps guide reasoning about the legitimacy of the sharing economy’s regulatory function. First, we discuss the conditions under which free and responsible individuals deliberately subject themselves to rules without their prior direct participation, that is, exit, voice, and constitutional limits. Second, we suggest sharing platforms can use novel ordo-responsibilities to establish a sharing constitution that takes these conditions into account. Third, we argue that sharing platforms can legitimately do so within an enabling institutional environment in society, the provision of which relies on the joint efforts of sharing platforms, political actors, and civil society.

“…Providing information on vaccines that is based on misinformation or disinformation (including studies whose data or conclusions have been shown to be wrong) is a deceptive practice, which goes against the basic tenets of medical and business ethics ( 24 ). This is in line with those who argue that the promotion of “alternative medicine” is unethical because it lacks the evidence and transparency of clinical efficacy and should be considered “false advertising” ( 25 ).…”

Online Information of Vaccines: Information Quality, Not Only Privacy, Is an Ethical Responsibility of Search Engines

et al. 2020

The fact that Internet companies may record our personal data and track our online behavior for commercial or political purpose has emphasized aspects related to online privacy. This has also led to the development of search engines that promise no tracking and privacy. Search engines also have a major role in spreading low-quality health information such as that of anti-vaccine websites. This study investigates the relationship between search engines' approach to privacy and the scientific quality of the information they return. We analyzed the first 30 webpages returned searching “vaccines autism” in English, Spanish, Italian, and French. The results show that not only “alternative” search engines (Duckduckgo, Ecosia, Qwant, Swisscows, and Mojeek) but also other commercial engines (Bing, Yahoo) often return more anti-vaccine pages (10–53%) than Google.com (0%). Some localized versions of Google, however, returned more anti-vaccine webpages (up to 10%) than Google.com . Health information returned by search engines has an impact on public health and, specifically, in the acceptance of vaccines. The issue of information quality when seeking information for making health-related decisions also impact the ethical aspect represented by the right to an informed consent. Our study suggests that designing a search engine that is privacy savvy and avoids issues with filter bubbles that can result from user-tracking is necessary but insufficient; instead, mechanisms should be developed to test search engines from the perspective of information quality (particularly for health-related webpages) before they can be deemed trustworthy providers of public health information.

“…Business activities carried out as a work of a person, or activities of some people, or activities of an organization. In applying the business activity of the private colleges must be based on the principles of business ethics (Hasnas, 2013;Kumar & Baker, 2020). The principles of business ethics are the autonomy principle, the principle of honesty, the principle of justice, the principle of mutual benefit, and the principle of moral integrity.…”

Private college that should make the balance of the business mission, social mission, and religious mission. There is a new perspective through the opened management of using funds, students or the community will conclude that the study cost of private university is not high or expensive but measurable
