Does Tiger Woods Have a Right to Privacy?
In the continuing drama over his car accident last week, Tiger Woods released a statement on Wednesday, apologizing to his family and supporters after a magazine article reported that he had carried on multiple affairs.
In his statement, he said:
No matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
But in the age of the Internet, when the media is not just traditional mainstream press or even the tabloids, but bloggers and twitterers, is a claim of privacy even plausible? And is there a difference between a public figure and a well-known figure when it comes to privacy?
