Principle 3: PUBLIC: 1.03


1.03. Approve software only if they have a well-founded belief that it is safe, meets specifications, passes appropriate tests, and does not diminish quality of life, diminish privacy, or harm the environment. The ultimate effect of the work should be to the public good.

Before releasing a software for public use,software engineers should test thoroughly whether their products are up to the standards of user expectations or not and whether these products are safe enough in both physically or mentally to use.

These testing includes security concerns, privacy issues and also meeting the specifications expected from us as the owners of a news providing website.

It is not ethical if we are providing such stories which are not suitable for children regularly but if it is really necessary to provide those stories we should give a warning to users that this is not suitable for children so that parents can restrict their children getting access to such stories.
