Introduction
E-commerce can be defined as a type of business which uses the internet platform has
supplanted the old-fashioned physical commerce dealings. The development of international e-
commerce has been taking place without a proper structure to handle the ethical as well as the
legal which comes up from the usage of the internet to carry out business. Administrations
around the globe should shield customers and various internet operators from immoral business
activities which he internet platform has triggered. Similarly crucial is the need to defend
property owners of online-related intellectual goods from breach of their constitutional rights on
ownership of this type of assets.
In the collected works from authors such as Sweet & Maxwell, (2012 )on the issue of
privacy, claims that there are numerous opposing versions of the value and nature of privacy .
On one end reductionist versions claim that privacy lay claims other values in addition to other
vital issues especially from an ethical viewpoint. Suggestions that have been defended alongside
these lines refer to security, property rights, friendship, autonomy or friendly, liberty, dignity,
democracy or utility as well as economic value (Sweet & Maxwell, 2012 )On the other hand
reductionist explanations claims that that the significance of privacy ought to be clarified and its
sense elucidated. The opposing opinion claims that the issue of privacy is valued and
significance are not derived from other different considerations . Opinions which interpret
privacy as well as the personal domain of life an important part of a human right can be a good
example of the non-reductionist notion.
