SpectorSoft markets eBlaster as a way to keep track of what your spouse or children are doing online. Operating in stealth mode, eBlaster tracks every single keystroke from instant messages to passwords entered into a computer. It also records every email sent and received and every Web sit visited by unsuspecting user. The data are sent anonymously to an IP address of the person who installed eBlaster. It could also be installed on the computers of a business.
PLEASE answer the following discussion questions:
1. Do you think it would be ethical for a business to install eBlaster to ensure that its employees are engaged only in work related activities? If so, under what conditions would using it be appropriate? If not, why not?
2. Apply the normative theories of business ethics to this situation.
