This essay critically analyzes Luciano Floridi's ontological theory of informational privacy. Organized into two main parts, Part I examines some key foundational components of Floridi's privacy theory and it considers some of the ways in which his framework purports to be superior to alternative theories of informational privacy. Part II poses two specific challenges for Floridi's theory of informational privacy, arguing that an adequate privacy theory should be able to: (i) differentiate informational privacy from other kinds of privacy, including psychological privacy; and (ii) distinguish between descriptive and normative aspects of informational privacy in a way that differentiates a (mere) loss of privacy from a violation of privacy. I argue that Floridi's privacy theory, in its present form, does not explicitly address either challenge. However, I also argue that his ontological theory provides us with a novel way of analyzing the impact that digital technologies have had for informational privacy. I conclude by suggesting that Floridi's privacy framework can be interpreted as containing the elements of a ''personality theory of privacy,'' which would be useful to examine in a separate study.

“…The review of ICT ethics was based on the more established fields of computer and information ethics. Computer and information ethics can be understood as that branch of applied ethics which studies and analyzes social and ethical impacts of ICT (9). The more specific term 'computer ethics', coined by Walter Maner in the 1970s, refers to applying normative theories such as utilitarianism, Kantianism, or virtue ethics to particular ethical cases that involve computer systems or networks.…”

Abstract. The ETICA project aims to identify emerging information and communication technologies. These technologies are then analysed and evaluated from an ethical perspective. The aim of this analysis is to suggest possible governance arrangements that will allow paying proactive attention to such ethical issues. During the ETICA workshop at the summer school, participants were asked to choose one of the 11 technologies that ETICA had identified. For each of these technologies there was a detailed description developed by work package 1 of the project. Workshop participants were asked to reflect on the ethical issues they saw as relevant and likely to arise from the technology. This paper discusses the ethical views of the workshop participants and contrasts them with the findings of the ethical analysis within the ETICA project.

“…This particular conflict of course transcends national and cultural boundaries, but balancing privacy and anonymity against accountability is pivotal in attempts to combat money laundering globally [14]. As discussed below and in sections 3.2 and 3.3, it presents an especially acute challenge for emerging and developing economies.…”

“…One of the most pervasive ethical considerations highlighted by global information access concerns the tension between the need for privacy and anonymity on the one hand and the need for accountability on the other [14,15]. This particular conflict of course transcends national and cultural boundaries, but balancing privacy and anonymity against accountability is pivotal in attempts to combat money laundering globally [14].…”

International audienceThis paper examines the anti-money laundering systems of Australia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA), the extent to which they have implemented the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations, and how compliance with these recommendations is affected by local cultural and economic factors. The paper makes use of FATF evaluation reports to compare the countries' compliance; it examines some of the underlying cultural considerations and culture-specific ethical issues that affect the extent of compliance, and how cultural and ethical considerations may affect good governance. The findings indicate that the UK and the USA are the most advanced with regards to their compliance with the FATF recommendations and Australia and the UAE less so. The UAE is in particular found to be least compliant. We relate this finding to previous work on how a country's legal and financial systems develop in line with its religion, culture and socio-economic situation, and examine how such local factors have affected the UAE's financial and anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) systems. This research will be of interest to policy-makers and government agencies involved in addressing money laundering and its successful detection and prosecution
