In addition to internal turmoil, political unrest in Egypt has given rise to questions concerning internet ethics, specifically surrounding international politics. America currently possesses the technology to supply or deny internet to certain regions and even sabotage enemy networks. However, with great power, comes great responsibility. The need to address internet warfare has not been an issue before now. International law does not extend far enough to cover the proper use of the world wide web in politically taxing situations such as civil unrest or even war. This issue is then brought to the question of what is right or wrong in an ethical sense. The acts of hacking or messing with the internet are quite illegal. However, I believe that in situations that can benefit the good of a people, these laws and/or decrees should be bypassed. The allowing or disallowing of internet should be dictated by the needs of the people.
