A quick definition of invasion of privacy:

Invasion of privacy is when someone violates another person's right to keep their personal life private. This can happen in many ways, like when someone enters your private property without permission or shares your private information or pictures without your consent. There are different types of invasion of privacy, but they all involve someone intruding on your personal life without your permission. The law is supposed to protect people's privacy as a basic right.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Invasion of privacy is when someone violates an individual's right to privacy by doing something intrusive or unwanted. This can include physically entering someone's private property or sharing confidential information or images without permission. There are different legal claims that can be made for invasion of privacy, such as intrusion on seclusion, public disclosure of private facts, false light, and appropriation. All of these claims involve an unwanted or unauthorized intrusion into a person's private life.

Examples:

  • A paparazzi taking pictures of a celebrity in their own backyard without permission is an invasion of privacy through intrusion on seclusion.
  • A doctor sharing a patient's medical records with someone who is not authorized to see them is an invasion of privacy through public disclosure of private facts.
  • A company using a person's image in an advertisement without their consent is an invasion of privacy through appropriation.

These examples illustrate how invasion of privacy can take many forms and can happen in different contexts. In each case, someone's private life is being intruded upon without their permission, which is a violation of their right to privacy.

To be totally honest, us 4/14 people are probably slated for the big R wave at the end of the month lol.
I'm very happy for everyone admitted to the U *intense sobbing*
