An Example of Breaching the Privacy Law

Ryan Giggs Scandal
Last year a big story broke out about Ryan Giggs having an affair with former Big Brother housemate Imogen Thomas. This story shouldn’t have been published as Ryan Giggs had carried out a super injunction so this was actually breaking the Privacy Law. However Ryan Giggs had been mentioned by over 75,000 people on Twitter and they said it would be impossible to track down every single person that mentioned him and imprison them so everyone went unpunished. I think that the story should never have been publishes as it is breaking the privacy law and in a way his human rights law. However the story was in the public interest so the newspapers had every right to publish the story.
