Cite a computer activity and determine if it is ethical or unethical. Explain.

In my opinion, an act becomes ethical when it conforms to the norm, the examples set by the majority of professionals in the field of study. For example, there are two advertisers A and B. Advertiser A has thrice the traffic than Advertiser B. Since B wants to increase the traffic to his own ads, he decides to study and copy Advertiser A's methods and finds that it is a widely used unethical method within the Advertising community. Advertiser B proceeds to adapt the method and considered the method as an ethical one.
