Public Disclosure of Private Facts
Definition
The public disclosure of private facts is a type of privacy claim that involves the dissemination of personal information that is not of legitimate public concern, and that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. This includes the practice of "doxing" (aka "doxxing"), which refers to the act of publicly revealing private or identifying information about an individual without their consent, typically with malicious intent. This information can include addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or other personal details, and the practice is often associated with online harassment or cyberbullying.
