Ethics

The Web Science Conference 2024 adheres to the ACM Code of Ethics and ACM Policy Against Harassment. Any participant who experiences unacceptable behavior may contact the General Chairs.

In participating, I acknowledge ACM’s Policy Against Harassment at ACM Activities and agree that behavior such as the following will constitute grounds for actions against me:

• Abusive action directed at an individual, such as threats intimidation, or bullying
• Racism, homophobia, and other behavior that discriminates against a group or class of people
• Sexual harassment of any kind, such as unwelcome sexual advances or words/actions of a sexual nature
• If you are involved in or witness any such incident, please inform the local organizing committee.
