Robust economic growth carries with it the potential for corruption. Evidence that this potential has become reality for many businesses can be found in a 2003 survey by the Computer Security Institute, which showed that 56% of businesses reported some form of unauthorized use of their computer system.

The Supreme Court has held that an individual relinquishes any Fourth Amendment interest in information that he or she voluntarily discloses to a third party. Known as the "Third Party Doctrine," this controversial rule is increasingly problematic in an age where a large proportion of personal communications and transactions are carried out over the Internet. Internet users expose virtually all of the information they generate online-e-mails, web-surfing histories, search terms, and more-to online service providers.
