The most obvious features of information society are the emergence of social networks and the ever-increasing influence of Internet. While few can doubt the usefulness of this channel, such as e-commerce, there has been severe criticism about fears and beliefs that abound in illegal contents, such as pornographic and paedophile material, that stir up violence and provoke addiction. This paper conceives information society as an information security management system (ISMS) under a risk management prism. Aim is to increase the safety of individuals in respect to communication privacy, improve public administration and regulate unethical situations.
