"...it won't be over anything related to use of likeness."
I'd I agree with you there: it's not the likeness that's the problem. It's the wide dissemination of embarrassing private information without any apparent legitimate informative purpose. Like an upskirt photo, the fact that many people in the restaurant might have the same view doesn't mean it's OK to tweet the image to the world at large.
- potatolicious 15y agoI agree - but this really is just a sign of the times. Technology has made our previous implicit social contract re: privacy somewhat out of date. We need to (and we are, naturally) developing new codes of conduct in its place. Incidents like this will push this evolutionary process in the right direction. Not sure why we need to get involved, legally. This seems like one of those things where we really can just let it regulate itself. I am fairly certain Mr. Boyle is receiving his lesson in respecting boundaries as we speak.
