Formerly, the world was closed, vertical and hierarchical. Person who held the knowledge and information held power. Today, the emergence of information technology and communication illustrated by the media and the development of the Internet change the game. Now, a new balance of power is imposed on us, that of a consumer society where information assets grow at the expense of social ties. In this context, we are led to ask questions about the transformation of society vis-à-vis the information. A communications society focused on human values such as sharing and exchange it should not replace our consumption-oriented society of information at all costs? This helps to reflect on the ethical framework for the communication of information and distinguish between the terms of exchange and sharing when they are related to information. Ultimately, this modernization “technology” for the use of data cannot be achieved without a thought and modernization “ethics” of the disclosure.

Following the fire in the Mont Blanc tunnel, a new regulation was passed requiring each tunnel of a study of its specific risks and, for the transit of dangerous goods, a comparison with the risks alternative routes. In the practical implementation of these new studies, the temptation was great to multiply and more sophisticated modeling of fires, scenario analysis, the probability calculations, the criteria for making rational choices ... Group working to develop good practices, which had both an extensive field experience and scientific instruments, has gradually converged to a specific doctrine of "reasonable use" of science by their place in the traditional arguments based on simple rules, but tough. Be described by the complex trade-offs made between two logics, the logic "hyperrationnelle" and the pragmatic logic, which are always more or less tension in the regulation of risk.
