All organization who work with computers have to create system and codes of conduct that ensure, as much as possible, that business activities are undertaken ethically. This assessment will outline about the organzational and system in place to ensure that the ethical issues of the following are addressed.
INTRODUCTION
Facebook and Google are two of the famous online organization around the world. They grow big and bigger every day. Despite of that, Facebook and Google have ethical issues in their organization regarding of their policies. They try their best to decrease the problem about ethical issues with renew their policy every year. In 2007, Facebook made controversial issues regarding of their advertisement systems named Beacon.

To report an infringement of a copyright or other intellectual property right (for example, trademark)
Middle
According to the Anonymity problem, Facebook users must provide their real names and information. Here are some commitments user’s make to them relating to registering and maintaining the security of user account:
- You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.
- You will not create more than one personal profile.
- If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission.
- You will not use your personal profile for your own commercial gain (such as selling your status update to an advertiser).
- You will not use Facebook if you are under 13.
- You will not use Facebook if you are a convicted sex offender.
- You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
- You will not share your password, (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
- You will not transfer your account (including any page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
- If you select a username for your account we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has also made this suggestion, calling online anonymity “dangerous” and predicting that governments will eventually “demand” that people use their names for all online activity.
But the proposal to tie real-world identities to online actions is a controversial one, with many privacy and free speech advocates countering that anonymity is necessary to protect dissidents and other individuals, such as sexual abuse victims.
