Abstract
In the assessment of privacy infringement as tort, it should not be considered that the requirement of non-publicity is unnecessary, which may make illegal to express publicly-known facts and violate the freedom of expression.
In the actual litigation activity, it is appropriate to weigh the freedom of expression and the privacy, throughout the author’s claim, that the expression, which is about a publicly-known fact, is legal, and the alleged victim’s objection to it.
