"I would hope that companies wouldn't entirely surrender to determinism and assume that because they face difficult legal pressures that they have an obligation to engage in the most intrusive monitoring possible...Because studies show that employees work better and are more productive or more creative when they are not being monitored...I hope companies might be sympathetic to the idea that there is a good business argument for protecting privacy."

While law enforcement organizations insinuate that privacy and criminality go hand in hand, Rosen disagrees. "Privacy isn't primarily about protecting secrecy...All of us have a great deal of intimate information that is appropriate to disclose to some people and not to others. When granular pictures and records are created from all of our browsing and buying...and when those are linked to our actual identity as DoubleClick proposed...there is a great danger that this information can be misused in terrible damaging ways."
