Question

There are four categories of the tort of Invasion of Privacy. Since so many celebrities become famous by exposing their private lives, should most of these categories even be a tort anymore?

Answer 1

Celebrities simply form part of the entire population. To alter the Torts or to not consider these categories as even a Tort anymore, would be rather too much of a biased opinion. It will impact the privacy invasion of the Common public who form a considerable chunk of the Population. Moreover, it need not be necessary that all the celebrities are purposely exposing their private lives. The Paparazzi around them simply do not let them keep their lives privates. It seems like the media and Public has the right to know what these Celebrities are up to in their personal space. That is where the various categories of torts help to draw the line. These torts are instead a sigh of relief for the people who get bothered with the intrusion of privacy the most and hence need be in existence.
