- To what degree should the state be able to intrude into its citizens' private lives in the name of security?
- Can corporate espionage ever be justified?
- What are the ethical issues surrounding big data?
- How far should a journalist go in pursuing information?
- Is it reasonable to expect a degree of privacy in public?
- Is it ever justifiable for a parent to read a child’s diary?
