Talk about ethics or moral in technology is a big challenge because we have a lot of ways to analyze, for example in our country Mexico, who is a crime? in base of Federal Penal Code article 7, crime is the act or omission that sanction criminal laws (Jimenez, ND). But in the technology area Mexico is growing because until 2013 the government of Peña Nieto modified some articles in the constitution to include topics about telecommunications like the access to internet, publications or opinions (Cuervo, 2014).
With this information, we find a topic that is controversial in the technologies, the information that we could share, copy, get or use because all new technologies give us access to lot of information like audios, movies, videos, articles, books, publications, etc. All information has an author or owner in consequence this information is not available to get free and we need to pay but people find methods to share information and break the law. One of the most recent and important examples is the history of Aaron Swartz where he downloaded illegally the JSTOR data base and was incriminate for several crimes like computer fraud, wire fraud, criminal forfeiture, etc and the interesting is that most of the charges were based on a law from 1986 and we don’t know is was justice or not.
We share information in many places and is our right but we need to know where is our limit and here is where the ethics are important because in our country is easy download or share file and could be in an illegally way is our decision if we do these actions or not.

When it comes to talking about computer ethics is very complicated, because as a computer user some things that have some repercussions that can be harmful, when you turn on a computer that as a computer user you get a responsibility and we need to know how to use it in the best way. Talking about ethics is talking more about morality, but that depends on each person, considering whether their actions are good or not.
An issue that may violate computer ethics is the case of information privacy, sharing information without our knowledge, perhaps saying that that does not happen is totally false, because without thinking our personal information is being shared on the net in a countless sites that seek to offer us something, based on our tastes or previous searches.
the Big Brother of the 21st century is not on television if not on the internet, we do not read the terms and conditions of the Google contract we give permission to access and share our information with all its related. This information I remember an interesting documentary called «Google: behind the scene» I saw in my web development class, where Google as a company at first was only looking to improve as a search engine, but over the years all the information collected, have made continuous decisions about the information we provide. This makes us think if Google uses that information well or tries to monopolize it.
We use the internet every day and knowing if trusting if one of the largest companies on the internet ethically uses our data is a great incognita, we must know what personal information to give Google because it is no longer personal or confidential and many people can misuse of them. but we respect the privacy of information is the best to be an ethical computer user and improve the use of the internet
