Privacy Law protects a persons right to have privacy, we are talking about privacy on the internet. The importance of privacy has gone back to references in religious writings. How far society can intrude into a person's affairs is a fine line to protect privacy.
Privacy allows an individual to choose the way they live their life and protect them from invasion from the media.
One's privacy is highly valued, but protecting someones privacy can be very complicated. The UK abides to the existence of many international privacy rights but the UK itself doesn't have any.
An example is phone hacking, between 2005 and 2007, the police investigated the News of the World and found that celebrities, politicians and members of the British Royal Family but in July 2011 it was found out that members of the public such as those affected by the 7/7 bombings, British soldiers and Milly Dowler and others were also hacked.
Journalists of NoW hacked into the voicemail of many people to find illicit stories.
Clive Goodman was arrested in January 2007 after pleading guilty for hacking into the phones of royal aides'.
4, 000 were possible targets in the scandal, these included Hugh grant, Steve Coogan, Sienna Miller, Boris Johnson and the list goes on.
It got worse when Milly Dowler and relatives of dead UK soldiers were included in those who were hacked.
