Free speech vs privacy
By Steven | June 12, 2011
A New Mexico man puts up a billboard of himself holding the outline of a baby, saying:
This Would Have Been a Picture Of My 2-Month Old Baby If The Mother Had Decided To NOT KILL Our Child!
His ex-partner (who says she had a miscarriage not an abortion) sues for harrassment and invasion of privacy.
A London plummer outraged about his wife’s affair with her boss, the director of one of the world’s largest reinsurance companies, runs a public campaign, include blogging and twittering, to allege that the boss conducted the affair on company time is up on charges of harrassment.
Are these exercises in free speech? Are they, in fact, protest speech? Are they harrassment? Invasions of privacy? All of the above? Does it make any difference whether the facts are right or wrong?
