Ok, So Maybe Its Uncool, But Is It Illegal to Blog About Someones Private Business?
Outing a friend who told you about things like a private medical condition or family problem is not only really lame, it also could violate “publication of private facts” law, which is designed to protect a person’s private information even if the information is truthful. For more information, please read the Bloggers’ FAQ on Privacy, which also addresses “intrusion into seclusion” law, which is designed to protect people’s privacy and their interest in being left alone.
