Public V Private

Debate was hot this week about privacy, what really constitutes public interest and what is in effect, in the public interest?

According to some, celebrities don't deserve privacy. I must say I disagree.

Yes, I am guilty of flicking through trashy magazines, but I highly question that choosing to be in any profession is juxtaposed with selling your soul like a paparazzi prostitute. Yes, they are in the public eye, but if roles are reversed and the public is being filmed we cry foul at the media machine. Problem? I think so.

The notion of privacy is packaged with ethical and moral debates and strapped by legal tape. No, we don't want the proposed privacy tort, too far. But we do need to pull our ethical socks up.
