Abstract

The opportunities provided by new technologies signify that current societies have an unlimited number of possibilities as regards improving the quality of their citizens' lives. Governments and some corporations may simultaneously use such technologies to achieve some of their goals with a greater effectiveness than before. However, the usages that governments and corporations make of these technologies could lead to an institutionalisation of practices that may be questionable. These practices embrace the access and use of confidential or private information by governments, in addition to corporative practices that may violate some fundamental liberties when corporations act as government collaborators.
