Privacy

From Dr. John Hall’s book ‘A New Breed: Satellite Terrorism in America’…

According to the Restatement (Second) of Torts, “one’s privacy can be invaded in one of the following ways:

1) unreasonable intrusion upon the seclusion of another,

2) appropriation of the other’s name or likeliness,

3) unreasonable publicity given to the other’s private life, or

4) publicity that unreasonably places the other in a false light before the public.”

“Intrusion upon one’s seclusion is most applicable to satellite surveillance. Cyber stalking, a growing problem, is defined by the U.S. Department of Justice as “the use of the internet, e-mail, or other electronic communication devices to stalk another person.”
