Clearly lots is being bounded around at the moment about injuctions etc and certain people sleeping with certain other people etc etc. Which has led me to ask is there really anything such as privacy now?
I wondered what peoples opinions were on the following,
1) Does anyone in the public eye have a right to privacy?
2) Can any injuction control the net? and indeed should it?
3) Does privacy since the internet really exist?
lastly
4) is it the internet or culture to blame for the craving of who is in whose bed?
Please do not mention names or cases as this is not what I am on about here at all, And its not worth causing problems for this forum.
It seems to me that injuctions have built the hype up on certain stories rather than calmed it down, So I question how effective they are.

Wong thread, that’s nostalgia.
.
:Dbit of both realy !! it does say a lot about the female of the spiecies though !!
it is all prostitution only the end figure and bank ballance is difrent
because it is a footballer and a wannabe TV star it is glamourous
if it was a sailor and a female dockyard worker they would be scum !!
sureley it should be the act you should think about rather than the end payout !!

We chaps are just porn pawns.
They drag us into their beds, knowing that they are insisting we cheat on their own sisterhood…then grass us up if we don’t pay.

In answer to 3) the interest in salacious gossip and stories of the famous and their infidelities is as old as the hills. The internet in all its guises has just enabled information to be instantly peddled to those who are keen to gobble it up.
As I said in the other thread, if you “play away” you accept the risks in being found out.

my feelings are there is no privacy if you court stardom and wish to be in the public eye and if they are scared of people talking they should keep it ” tucked up inside thier pants !!”
this woman was clearly after nothing else but a good bank ballance and those on twitter were retarded enough to give it her
now it is out her side of the story will be worth even more
giggs should have turned round said ” yeah it was me , and you make a lousey breakfast , move on babe !”
he’d get more respect , she’d get less money , and he’d probably stand more chance of keeping his marriage instead of being a spineless irresponsible weasel !!

If you choose to be a public figure and you choose to court publicity and life in the spotlight, you can’t grumble if it turns round and bites you if you fall short of the behaviour expected of a public figure.

My two-pence worth:
1) Everybody whether in the public eye or not has a RIGHT to privacy – but those who court publicity in order to further their personal status or career, etc, should remember that there are people out there wielding double-edged swords !
2) Probably no, and maybe (but how?)
3) Yes, as long as you speak to no-one, write to nobody, sign-up for nothing, don’t open your curtains, etc.
4) Blame it on the internet, modern culture or whatever you like, but it is usually down to basic animal instinct, opportunity, and a lack of moral rectitude in some cases – one or all of these usually applies. If you mean the craving of those who wish to know about ‘who is in whose bed’ – you’ll need to ask those who buy The Daily Comic; I stopped buying a “news”paper when my job decided it didn’t need a grumpy old git any more – never missed it all (paper or job!).
