Discrimination and harassment that were once committed in real time have now moved to the online environment. Discrimination and harassment on the Internet take many forms and can be more damaging and insidious than the face-to-face forms of abuse.

These topics are examined from an ethical perspective with a focus on gender and racial discrimination issues.
