Question

Jennifer took a video recording of Jack and Alice fighting in an alley. Jack and Alice disclose multiple private facts about each other through the course of the argument. Jennifer posts the fight on the internet. Which of the following is true?

A. Jack and Alice can take no action, since they were fighting in a public place.
B. Jack and Alice can take no action, because Jennifer is not a professional videographer.
C. Jack and Alice can make a tort claim against Jennifer for public revelation of private facts.
D. Jack and Alice can make a tort claim against Jennifer for false light.

Answer 1

C. Jack and Alice can make a tort claim against Jennifer for public revelation of private facts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack and Alice have the right to make a tort claim against Jennifer because she is infringing into their privacy facts.

If Jack and Alice gave her the permission to upload the video on the internet, it wouldn't have been a case. But since Jennifer did that without their consent and permission, they have the right to make a tort claim against her.

Therefore Option C is the correct answer.
