什么是policy vacuum（待加分）

Computers raise ethical issues because they allow people to do things
they’ve never been able to do before
• This creates a policy vacuum
• There is no existing policy that tells us how we are expected to act
• This is not unique to computers. Many new technologies have created
policy vacuums in the past
• Automobiles, nuclear power, cloning
• The aim of computer ethics is to fill policy vacuums concerning
computers
• These are created as technology changes
• For instance, in the early days of computing, all files were
considered public. Now there are privacy and ownership policies.
• The internet creates many policy vacuums
