We will explore questions like these (and more), through a technology lens primarily focused on the Internet:

Yes, you can, but should you?
It may be legal, but is it the right thing to do?
How can we figure out the right thing to do and make informed decisions?
Will this produce the most good and the least harm?
Does this respect the rights of all relevant stakeholders?
Does this treat people fairly?
Does this serve the community as a whole, not just some of its members?
Does this lead me to act as the sort of person I want to be?
