(Since when is privacy a right? Just curious. I always saw it as a privilege. Having my room with my bed to sleep in.)

- ThunderSizzle 3y agoSince SCOTUS hallucinated it into being to make their pro-abortion ruling in Roe v Wade. It's the only time I've seen the right to privacy taken to the extreme.
- baq 3y agoIf it’s written in the law then it is. Depends where you live.
- Freak_NL 3y agoIt's fairly common: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_privacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_privacy > Over 150 national constitutions mention the right to privacy. Not the US, but: > In the US, privacy and associated rights have been determined via court cases and the protections have been established through laws. Privacy is not a privilege, it is a right.
- mdp2021 3y agoThere exist natural rights. It is not frequent to find, say, a "right to breathe" or a "right to walk" as an explicit topic, because the absence of its object has critical implications. Same for the "right" to privacy. It is something that would be strongly defended because its absence would not be accepted.
