The issues of privacy, data protection and
transparency that companies have to deal
with
One of the most common issues that companies face is related to privacy
...
And this makes it hard
for companies, because even though us, consumers, want to have access to what is to be
found on the internet, we are not all that comfortable and satisfied when companies take
our personal information, to use it for their business
...
There is a thin line between what people accept
and what they don’t accept regarding privacy
...
When entering in emerging markets there are some challenges that have to be
overcome
...
On the grounds to security, law
enforcement, and the fight against terrorism, illegal immigration, welfare fraud and even
administrative efficiency, domestic legislation has extended the reach of governments
...
The violations of the right to privacy underpin human dignity and are closely

with
Authoritarian regimes are an example of having a significant impact on the
privacy of individuals
...
And
governments may rely on security forces and the monitoring of communications in
order to track activists
...
It is not
obligatory for governments to let multinational corporations (MNCs) know about
monitoring and censorship, and the discovery of this to the MNC presence in the country
could result in dilemmas
...
They may include arrests and detentions and
other punitive action by the state
...
While these risks continue in developed economies, they generally endure more
protections and better security to prevent abuse of privacy in the business environment
...
Especially in weak authority zones, companies are challenged with a
higher risk when creating relationships with employees, business partners, and clients
that may damage their reputations or associate them in disruptions of law or human
rights abuse
...
These risks can be minimized and moderated by running strict due diligence on
business partners or employees, which does not violate on privacy

YAHOO!
Yahoo! was filed for a lawsuit because they were accused for supposedly sharing
information with the Chinese government, which consequently led to the arrest and
imprisonment of several Chinese journalists and protestors, impacting not only the right
to privacy but also the right to freedom of speech
...
Yahoo! Earlier requested for the dismissal of
the case, claiming that they had no choice than obeying the lawful Chinese government
request for information that was connected to an investigation by the authorities, due to
the possible outcome whereby Yahoo!’s Chinese staff would have been put in legal
jeopardy
...
But Yahoo! has no control over the sovereign government of the People's
Republic of China ('PRC'), the laws it passes, and the manner in which it
enforces its laws

Since January 2007, Yahoo!, Google and Microsoft have participated in an
enterprise with the Center for Democracy and Technology, Business for Social
Responsibility, and other companies, academics, investors, technology leaders and
rights organizations to produce a set of principles to guide company behavior on privacy
issues (and related human rights issues such as freedom of expression)
...
In May 2008, as part of a new Yahoo! Business
and Human Rights Program that includes Guiding Principles and Operational Guidelines
for the company, Yahoo! said, “We're committed to the international foundation of
freedom of expression and privacy, and we'll continue translating those principles into
practical steps to be followed by our employees
