ABSTRACT
This chapter turns to the practice and policy ends of moral motivation, thinking through how and to what extent digital and ethical literacy can translate into practical action. We suggest that digital technologies offer novel and robust ways of acting with effect, which has both positive and negative ethical implications. We examine existing policies and practices for action related to issues of digital ethics as a landscape of spaces for future work. The chapter opens with the case of the Dakota Access Pipeline and concludes with a review of the ethics of community activism through an example of a Canadian community fighting for clean water.
