This document discusses several issues related to privacy and the internet. It notes that many countries continue to block websites for political reasons and imprison users for expressing unpopular views. It also discusses how e-business technologies raise questions around intellectual property rights and payment fraud. Changes to internet regulation can have direct implications for business costs and procedures. The document discusses different views on privacy, from it being an unrealistic concept to privacy being important for individual autonomy, emotional release, self-evaluation, and protected communication.

All of the countries surveyed continue to block Web sites for their political content or for other arbitrary
reasons, and all retain and misuse vaguely worded and sweeping legal provisions to imprison Internet
users for expressing unpopular or critical views. ‘In part by their very nature, e-business technologies
also invoke questions of intellectual property rights, where—for example—unprotected digitized
products can be shared easily but illegally, and where copyright and trademark legislation lags behind
technological development—and even where it is relevant and up-to-date may require (as in the case of
recorded music piracy, for example) collective action by an entire business sector.
Thirdly, the scope for deception and criminal activities such as payment gateway for school fraud and
identity theft, through such mechanisms as spamming and phishing, are of a new and different scale as a
consequence of the dissemination and widespread availability of e-business technologies. Changes
occurring in the regulatory environment affecting the Internet arising from some of these ethical and
security concerns have direct implications for an organization's costs, processes, and procedures.
These range from governance of the Internet itself, to changes in competition law, to regulations
governing online transactions, intellectual property, information security, privacy and data protection.
Phishing Whereby thieves use deceptive emails to get users to divulge personal information includes
luring them to fake bank and credit card websites.
It is suggested by others, however, that privacy is not only an elusive but, in practice, unrealistic concept
in today's society. In a now infamous and often cited remark in 1999 at the launch of new networking
technology, the then CEO of Sun Microsystems, Scott McNealy remarked: 'You have zero privacy
anyway—get over it.' Such pragmatism may not be misplaced. Writer David Brin has also argued that
the erosion of privacy is irreversible and that the real choice that users have is between the mere
illusion of privacy—where, in response to contemporary concerns, surveillance is restricted to the
authorities (itself an undesirable outcome)—or the destruction of that illusion with the recognition of
access for all. Brin calls this sacrifice of privacy for freedom 'reciprocal transparency’.

privacy performs four roles for individuals in democratic societies, all of which focus on the limitation of
access to themselves by others. These are in relation to: Personal autonomy: allowing people to
maintain their sense of individuality and to avoid being manipulated and dominated by others;
emotional release: allowing people time in their lives when they can be 'off stage' and more at ease—
with their families or other trusted groups, or anonymously;
Self-evaluation: allowing people to take time for personal reflection and review; and the concept of
limited and protected communication: allowing people to engage in candid conversations with those
they trust—be they family, friends, peer groups, or professional advisers, such as doctors, lawyers, or
clergy.
