John Dewey argued that certain habits of deliberation would be necessary in order to transform local, naturally forming associations into responsibly deliberating communities. In chapters 8-10, Gillmor concedes that there are many bad habits in online deliberation, many practices that curtail democratic exchange (abuse of copyright to shut down conversation, trolling, abusing anonymity), but he hopes that a code of online media ethics can counter these practices. In these chapters, one might argue that, like Dewey, Gillmor’s promoting habits of responsible democratic deliberation and that without these habits, the technology won’t get us very far. Try to find a site where the ethics that Gillmor advocates are practiced (accuracy, fairness, and ethical practices). Do these habits ensure a productive exchange among citizens? If we already have the beneficial habits, do we need the technology in order to achieve democratic deliberation?
