To what extent can disseminating information obtained illegally be justifiable? Arguably one of the most relevant events of this kind of situation during the last year is the Snowden’s case. Indeed, in 2013, Edward Snowden revealed that the NASA has been gathering a lot of data on American citizen without having the right of doing it. The disclosures have been seen such a huge scandal and fostered the following question : to what extent can disseminating information obtained illegally be justifiable? First of all, I think that disseminating information obtained illegally can be justifiable in the case of threat for a group of people. Indeed it is a way to make people aware that they are endangered and to prevent a plausible huge catastrophe such as terrorist attack. As a result, it could be justifiable to reveal information obtained illegally if they directly concern a lot of people. Then disseminating information obtained illegally can’t be justifiable if the organism which broadcast them has the only aim of making a profit on it. For example, paparazzi are often mentioned in this kind of situation because they use famous people’s private life to earn money.
