This article aims to characterize the need for an ethical discussion about information also to present Luciano Floridi's information ethics as a possible proposal. To do so, I begin by stressing the relevance of information today, then I define what information is and how we should develop our understanding of information as an onto-epistemological category. Then, I raise the urgency of an ethics of information, followed by the presentation of Floridi's proposal to understand infosphere, the full domain of information. Finally, I highlight the macroethical character of his information ethics in conjunction with ethical principles and moral norms in the treatment of the infosphere, with special attention to the principle of entropy as a concept correlated to evil. The result is that while Floridi's information ethics contains some questionable issues, it is an enterprise to be pursued and improved in order to mitigate the negative disruptive effects of ICT in the present and near future.
