Beschreibung:
Online service providers (OSPs) have gone from offering connecting and information-sharing services to their paying members to providing open infrastructure and applications that facilitate digital expression, interaction, and the communication of information. This evolution put OSPs in a peculiar position, for they design and provide key services on which information societies depend. This raises the questions as to what role they have in our societies, what moral responsibilities this role entails, and how OSPs should discharge these responsibilities
