Socio-economic risks correspond to what has been called the fractures linked to inequalities among users (Plantard and Le Mentec 2013). These fractures concern different levels: access to the Internet or to digital equipment (equipment inequalities); the urban or rural living environment (access inequalities); the environment and the socio-professional category of a user’s parents or of an individual (usage inequalities); the support available to users and their ability to train themselves (usage performance inequalities) (Ben Youssef 2004)

Ethical risks can refer to the use of personal data and tracking during web browsing. Even if such use is not always harmful to the user, they are rarely well informed about the nature of the personal data collected or the ways in which it might be used. In addition, the security of this data is not always fully ensured and poses problems regarding the protection of privacy on the Web and respect for others (Merzeau 2013; Rouvroy 2014, pp. 407–422; Cardon 2015).
