Private detectives have been providing their services in Lithuania for about a decade; however, only now has the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania started to discuss whether it is expedient and necessary to regulate the activities of private detectives by means of a separate law. One of the goals of a separate legal regulation of private detective activities is the protection of human rights, particularly the right to privacy. This article examines the provisions of national and international legislative acts related to the private life of a person, and assesses the opportunities of a private detective to provide private detective services without prejudice to the provisions of applicable legislative acts. The article concludes that a private detective is not an authorized (public) authority and there is no possibility to assess in each case whether the interests of a person using the services of private detectives are more important than those of other persons, which would allow for violating their rights to private life. The limits of an individual’s right to privacy can only be narrowed by a particular person, giving consent to making public the details of his/her private life. It is the only opportunity for a private detective to gather information related to the private life of a citizen. Currently applicable legislative acts in Lithuania do not provide for opportunities for private subjects to collect personal data without that person’s consent. This right is granted only to public authorities and with the court’s permission

The article claims that when it comes to studying the Internet, one can indicate two groups of researchers: the optimists and the pessimists. The later show the negative economic and political consequences of using the Web. Recently, these researchers have increasingly written about violations of the privacy of Internet users. However, a general critical framework for research on privacy violations remains lacking. The goal of this article is to propose such a framework. This article shows how pessimists conceptualize Internet privacy and what basic types of Internet privacy violation they indicate; how to protect online privacy is also discussed. The aforementioned issues are extremely crucial, particularly when considering (after the pessimists) the scale of the violations of Internet privacy and the lack of research regarding the opinions and behaviors of Internet users in regard to the infringement of online privacy.

Autor artykułu wychodzi z założenia, że mamy do czynienia z dwoma stanowiskami w badaniach internetu: optymistycznym i pesymistycznym. Krytycy wskazują na ekonomiczne i polityczne negatywne konsekwencje użycia Sieci, a obecnie coraz więcej uwagi poświęcają kwestii naruszeń prywatności w internecie. Badaniom na ten temat rzadko kiedy towarzyszy jednak próba ogólnego uporządkowania tego, jak wspomniane pogwałcenia postrzegają krytycy tego zagadnienia. To jest właśnie celem artykułu. Autor – posiłkując się różnymi doniesieniami akademickimi – pokazuje, jak krytycy konceptualizują prywatność internetową i jakie wyróżniają typy jej naruszeń oraz sposoby przeciwdziałania im. Omawiane zagadnienia są ważne, jeśli uznać (za krytykami), że skala naruszeń prywatności jest bardzo duża. Rzadko kiedy bada się opinie i zachowania użytkowników internetu związane z prywatnością online.
