“…Future research in the domain of DHAs is likely to expand in several possible directions as intimacy, sex, and love continue to be further mediated by technology. We argue that this research should pay special attention to soft impacts (Klincewicz and Frank 2018;Nyholm et al 2022). Several topics that we have not discussed in this chapter but deserve attention involve the soft impacts of DHAs.…”

In this chapter we identify three potentially morally problematic behaviours that are common among users of dating and hook-up apps (DHAs) and provide arguments as to why they may or may not be considered (a) in a category of their own, distinct from similar behaviours outside of DHAs; (b) caused or facilitated by affordances and business logic of DHAs; (c) as indeed morally wrong. We also consider ways in which morally problematic behaviours can be anticipated, mitigated, or even prevented by analysis of the ethical and moral dimensions of technologies and their afforded uses. Finally, we offer some possible directions for future work on these topics in particular and on the ethical consequences of DHAs in general.

“…(Bynüm 2001: 111ff) (cf. Johnson 2004) On Johnson's view, we will have applied ethics and the ethics will concern most themes, süch as 'information privacy' or 'how to behave in a romantic relationship' (Nyholm et al 2022)-and müch of this will be taking places with or throügh compüting devices, büt it will not matter (even thoügh many things will remain that cannot be done withoüt süch devices). In other words, the 'drive' of technology we have seen in this history will come to a close, and the technology will become transparent.…”

The History of Digital Ethics

Digital ethics, also known as computer ethics or information ethics, is now a lively field that draws a lot of attention. But what were the developments that led to its existence and present state? What are the traditions, concerns, and technological and social developments that guided digital ethics? How did ethical issues change with the digitalization of human life? How did the traditional discipline of philosophy respond and how was ‘applied ethics’ influenced by these developments? This chapter proposes to view the history of digital ethics in three phases: pre-digital modernity (before the invention of digital technology), digital modernity (with digital technology but analogue lives), and digital post-modernity (with digital technology and digital lives). For each phase, the developments in digital ethics are explained with the background of the technological and social conditions. Finally, a brief outlook is provided.

“…These drugs can be used in two ways: either to maintain or to improve the relationship ("pro-love drugs") or to more easily end the relationship ("antilove drugs"). 41 The third kind technology involves humanoid robots and avatars created to engage in sexual or romantic relationships with humans. While not all robots are created for sexual purposes, robots as "true companions" -serving as a form of romantic partnerare becoming more popular.…”

Is the Technological Revolution Reshaping Our Understanding of Love?

This article seeks to explore how technology affects the way we understand and practise love, against the background of the theme of the 11th Assembly of the World Council of Churches, “Christ’s love moves the world to reconciliation and unity.” The article argues that we need a deeper, theologically informed interdisciplinary engagement about new understandings of technology and how technology might contribute to human flourishing. It concludes that dialogue between theology, ethics, and technology is crucial to prevent the negative effects of the digital‐technological revolution on how we love and relate to one another.
