This is excellent anon, but it is only half of the picture. All rights have corresponding duties, and if this is not ‘spelled’ out it is easy to just assume rights as something ‘owed to me’ in isolation. So yes, we have a right to privacy – and we also have a corresponding duty to respect and protect that same right in others. This dereliction of duty is just as much a failure of the legacy media as their active war against our rights, and I think it is critical to emphasise this rights/duties duality in any discussion of the issues.
