Abstract

The present paper is intended to approach the legal, ethical and social responsibility challenges encountered by Information Systems and Technologies professionals in their daily practice. Following the studies in Science, Technology and Society, while basing the analysis on the paradigm of complexity, the problem of the indiscriminated treatment of virtual social networks data is used as a trigger, where the systematic revision of laws, norms and related doctrine emerges as relevant to the subject; among others, the argentinian Law 25.326 on the Protection of Personal Data and related decrees. Acknowledging the inadequacy of the current normative set that arises from the constantly increasing complexity of technological developments, progress is made on the analysis of an ethical and social responsibility perspective, which leads to reflect on the competences that future graduates should acquire as part of their integral formation.
