When looking at if it is ethical to study people in cyberspace when they don’t know you have to think about will they ever find out, how would they react if they found out and how many people know that you are studying one specific person. I stand with it is ethical to study someone in cyberspace because what they don’t know won’t hurt them. Thinking about if they were to ever find out you just must be straight up with them or leave out the things that are sensitive to the study. If they want to shut it down, shut it down because at the end of the day you can always find some other person in cyberspace with the same credentials. Everyone is replaceable. That is just my stance but when seeing if it is actually ethical you have to review the guiding principles. Social and clinical value, scientific validity, fair selection, favorable risk-benefit ratio, independent review, informed consent, and respect for potential and enrolled subjects. Basically, it has to be well planned, apocopate and ethically approved. I think that if you are willing to be on social media like Facebook and Instagram then you are willing to be studied. Especially if you are public on these platforms. It is as easy as looking up your name on Google.
