INTRODUCTION_________________________________________________
An important part of the ethics of business is computer ethics (CE) . According

"a professional ethic," rather than a true ethics issue.
This paper will be to examine some of the legal issues of the Internet and the privacy
of those who use the Internet and frame those legal issues in the context of an ethical
issue. Kant's categorical imperatives of morality will be used to model the selected
legal issues into an ethical framework.
Part 1 of the paper provides background information on Internet privacy and the
vulnerability of the user on the Internet, Part 2 explains some of the causes of invasion of
privacy over the internet, Part 3 outlines some of the practices of business and
government using the Internet and the legal implications, Part 4 contains a discussion of the

ethical issues of the practices described in Part 3, and Section 5 summarizes the discussion.

increased social relevance...
