The challenge

The objective of the site, Lewebethique.com (and its English equivalent Theethicalweb.com), is to offer first and foremost a platform allowing a rigorous but calm debate on the themes of the responsibility of online publishers and in a more general ethics practiced in Cyberspace.

The next step is to supervise, in the eyes of all, in an incontestable and immediately verifiable manner by any layperson, the effective integrity of the online production of all members of the organization and its compliance.

Service provision, application and software development, multimedia creations and virtual universes for the public... the establishment of a set of three labels will then follow the official presentation of the Charter, in order to make this production as clear and flawless as possible.

Because it is around this production and its life cycle that relationships with the user, the client, service providers and partners are formed, well beyond the terms and conditions of use of the sites/Apps. Web, or the simple contract and inherent specifications.

The actors in this factual relationship must understand the fundamental importance of this moral contract over time and its very essence, as well as the eco-responsible consumption (this subject is also one of the cornerstones of the Charter) that it entails.

All members must agree to abide by moral conduct that strictly regulates or eliminates, for example, the dissemination of ultra-violent content, the dissemination of false information, or the permission of attitudes leading to discriminatory actions that are intentionally hurtful or dangerous to the privacy or physical integrity of the individual, or even that of an institution.

In short, to protect as much as possible the user, the public, but also the authors of all this algorithmic, graphic, multimedia, and editorial excitement, in what unfortunately now resembles... a digital jungle.

Methodology

This involves determining:

• The development method.
• The management of suggestions.
• The main points of the Charter.
• The founding texts.
• The collection of significant testimonies.
• The increased and systematic verification of contributions and sources editorials.
• Presentation to legal professionals.
• Testing by a sample of civil society in the broadest sense.
• Final compliance with current legislation.
• Establishment of a blacklist.

The charter (primer)

We refuse:

• The dissemination of ultra-violent content, especially when it is not accompanied by severe warnings.

• The dissemination of information that is not professionally and ethically verified, and therefore untraceable.

• Aggression or incitement to aggression, in whatever form, for whatever reason, against people, animals, nature, and democratically constituted legal institutions.

• Circumvention of the laws of the national, democratic, humanist, and universalist rule of law.

• The undermining of international treaties concerning the protection of net neutrality.

• The Free-for-all culture.

• The barely veiled exploitation of the web's small hands.

• The violation of all existing copyrights and the undermining of the universal right to respect for intellectual property, as well as that of copyright.

• The systemic violation of privacy.
