FOR all our conversations about digital transformation, artificial intelligence and online innovation, there is one thing Malaysians still do not speak enough about: digital etiquette.

It often feels as though society is struggling to keep pace with the emotional and ethical demands of living in an intensely digital world. A person falls unconscious in public and people instinctively record it. A horrific accident occurs and videos circulate online before loved ones are even informed. A stranger becomes entertainment because their worst moment happened to be captured on camera.
