Mabye the thorniest ethical problem in Web publishing are links. "We need some sort of universal designation for links that have been purchased as opposed to links that belong to traditional editorial... There's no other medium - with the possible exception of late-late-night television - where this sort of blurring of advertising and editorial is tolerated.", says Steve Johnson from FEED.

Scientology
Official name Church Of Scientology, religio-scientific movement developed in the United States in the 1950s by the author L. Ron Hubbard (1911-86). The Church of Scientology was formally established in the United States in 1954 and was later incorporated in Great Britain and other countries. The scientific basis claimed by the church for its diagnostic and therapeutic practice is disputed, and the church has been criticized for the financial demands that it makes on its followers. From the 1960s the church and various of its officials or former officials faced government prosecutions as well as private lawsuits on charges of fraud, tax evasion, financial mismanagement, and conspiring to steal government documents, while the church on the other hand claimed it was being persecuted by government agencies and by established medical organizations. Some former Scientology officials have charged that Hubbard used the tax-exempt status of the church to build a profitable business empire.
