Ethical issues

Book crossing requires you to give an email address and password to log in. These details are not displayed on the site, only your user name is given and the information you give in your profile. Some people choose to add their picture whilst others do not. I chose not to include any personal information in my introductory note so I can remain anonymous. Tracking books across the globe does not pose too many ethical issues although littering was discussed in one online forum. Members can be passive and just view conversations of others or can get more actively involved and join discussion groups.
