The Digital Aspect Of The Application Of Ethical Standards

Abstract

The growth of the digital economy entails the mechanization and algorithmization of the providing services process, ensuring and protecting the citizens’ and legal entities’ rights. This process changes approaches to legal regulation of public functions. It also transforms the requirements for government representatives and other bodies that exercise these public functions, especially in relation to the so-called "Free professions" (advocacy and notaries). These approaches are aimed at protecting the interests of all participants in this process in the context of the mechanization of procedures using the Internet environment. Security issues concern not only the technical aspect of communication and the speed of obtaining the requested information and control over the safety of public life. These issues are also related to the possibilities of round-the-clock monitoring of the public services performance, and also entail the possibility of round-the-clock monitoring of the representatives of law enforcement and human rights professions personal life (what leads to the question of the permissibility limit). And this, in turn, can lead to excessive pressure on these state and near-state bodies using electronic methods of searching and recording evidence. At the same time, the aim of digitalization is saving time while receiving public services, reduction of queues, etc., and, as a result, it makes the executors of public services (functions) hostages of citizens-consumers’ digital opportunities, where one of the methods is to accuse them in unethical behavior or unprofessional performance of their duties..
