"When information is on a matter of public concern, the court held, the fact that it was illegally leaked doesn't make publishing it an invasion of privacy. " First of all, posting anything private should be classified as an invasion of privacy. Something that is not meant for other people to see is most definitely an invasion of privacy and should be taken seriously. Simply because these people who were exposed are celebrities doesn't mean that this isn't an invasion or privacy. These photos were taken in privacy and not meant for the public therefore it isn't right.
The journalist who published this story did a great job explaining this story from two different perspectives. He talked about why people thought this wasn't an invasion of privacy because these are celebrities and nothing they do is private. And he also talked about how the celebrities felt exposed and why they felt that way. As a journalist it is critical to tell the story from more than one perspective in order to drive your story further.
