E-mail, terrorism, and the right to privacy Stephen Coleman Abstract This paper discusses privacy and the monitoring of e-mail in the context
2、of the international nature of the modern world. Its three main aims are: (1) to highlight the problems involved in discussing an essentially philosophical question within a legal framework, and thus to show that providing purely legal answers to an ethical question is an inadequate approach to the
3、problem of privacy on the Internet; (2) to discuss and defi ne what privacy in the medium of the Internet actually is; and (3) to apply a globally acceptable ethical approach of international human rights to the problem of privacy on the Internet, and thus to answer the question of what is and is no
4、t morally permissible in this area, especially in light of recent heightened concerns about terrorist activities. It concludes that the monitoring of e-mail is, at least in the vast majority of cases, an unjustifi ed infringement of the right to privacy, even if this monitoring is only aimed at preventing the com- mission of acts of terrorism.
