Study Of Public Figure Privacy Issues

With the rapid development of science and technology and because of the increasing number of the lawsuits triggered by public figures' privacy, many countries around the world are further improving the system of legal protection for privacy, and as for our privacy protection, although the practice of direct protection is adopted, a complete system is not formed yet, so the legal protection is still very messy and the imperfect, ambiguous legislation is lagging behind. As a branch under the privacy protection, the protection of the privacy of public figures is weaker, but public figures require privacy protection in their real life, which highlights the contradictory demands of China in speeding up the legislation on the privacy of public figures so as to meet the needs of the construction of a harmonious society.In this paper, the methods of comparison and historical analysis are used to deeply study our country's current situation and inadequacy in legal protection of the public figures' privacy in such aspects as public figures and their right to privacy, the legal limitations to the public figures' privacy, and the legal protection of the public figures' privacy by both the Two Major Law Systems and our country, etc., from which some simple ideas to our country's legal protection of the right to privacy of the public figures are put forward to be helpful in establishing and improving the system of the public figures' privacy right in our country.
