Seriously? Would you be okay with a "journalist" showing the whole world your sextape?


1. I'm not a public figure

2. Sure. Have a great time


1. You don't need to be famous, how do you think blackmail works on non-famous women?

2. freaky


There's a concept of a public figure which also has law definitions.

You're conflation a bunch of things there

I can say, for example, entertainment weekly or the national enquirer is in poor taste but I didn't think they should be chased out of business


What are you trying to say? That any and all invasion of privacy is okay as long as it is in the name journalism?
