The rapid development of digital communication has significantly changed the landscape of human interaction. While offering convenience and global connectivity, it also raises critical ethical challenges such as data privacy violations, misinformation, cyberbullying, and digital manipulation. This article explores the importance of applying Information Technology (IT) ethics in digital communication to ensure responsible and respectful online behavior. Through a literature review approach, the study examines existing ethical codes, current issues in digital interaction, and the limitations of regulatory enforcement. The findings suggest that low digital literacy, lack of ethical awareness, and outdated legal frameworks contribute to the rise of unethical practices in digital spaces. To address these issues, this study highlights the need for strengthening digital ethics education, developing adaptive and enforceable regulations, and promoting personal accountability among users. Building an ethical digital communication ecosystem requires the collaboration of government, academic institutions, and digital service providers.
