Public figures to privacy restrictions must have its legal basis, theoretical analysis, it is in the social and public interest considerations only necessary to restrict the right to privacy of public figures, generally agree that this point is academic, but also reflects the in many countries legislation. But the limit for the privacy of public figures is not the same, from the point of view of the legal tradition, civil law is clearly defined by legislation in the form of what belongs to privacy should be limited, while the common law system is even more more jurisprudence to understand the scope of the privacy of public figures; see from the actual operation, the supervision of the news media, and public supervision of two ways limit the privacy of public figures.Our relative lack of legal regulation of privacy, there is no sound legal system to make the systemic regulation of the right to privacy, the legal regulation for the privacy of public figures will not be realized.
