Let us suppose that you are employed by a company that develops websites for clients. One day your boss presents you with a new project. In brief, your company has obtained a contract from a law enforcement agency to develop several websites. These are to act in line with the 'honeypot' scenario mentioned in the previous chapter. The project being undertaken by the law enforcement agency is to gather information in relation to individuals who may be 'interested' in extreme forms of violence. By developing this website you will be assisting the law enforcement agencies who will gather material in relation to people who peruse the site.
What is your ethical position? Do you think this is an appropriate agenda in terms of invisibly policing the internet? Since your boss has presented you with this brief, in the case that you do not agree with the ramifications of policing the internet in this way, do you have any political alternative but to undertake the work? (Here we assume that your boss is insitent that the work should be carried out by you.) What - if any - real objections do you have? DO you feel this is encroaching upon the liberty of the individual? Are your views be any different if the website related directly to terrorism or other forms of political extremism? To what extent do you think that the internet is currently being policed - not only in terms of monitoring those who enter particular websites or who enter contentious chat room areas or the like?

If you are employed to a certain company and you are task to do for example a certain website, you are forced to do it even without your free will. There will be two circumstances if you will neglect the task assign to you, either your boss will agree and find someone who will do the work for you or he/she insisted you to do the task. Since you are engaged you must follow instructions and follow your boss though you don’t have your privacy and will this time. There is really an encroaching upon the liberty of the individual (employee) if the boss will really insist. On the other hand if the website was related to terrorism or other forms of political extremism we would surely do the website. If the website will be useful to track the terrorism of a country or a nation it will certainly help the economy and the site will be for the good cause of the people so why not do the website.
As we all know internet has no boundaries, though there are countries like United Kingdom who strictly provide law for using the internet there is lots of country especially the Philippines who doesn’t have a secure law being practiced. We don’t have enough law and regulations when we talked about internet here in the Philippines that’s why there is a rampant crimes involving the use of internet.
