Question:

1. According to the court, what are the elements of the specific type of invasion of privacy alleged by the plaintiffs?

2. Cynthia’s family had no claim for invasion of privacy. Do they have any remedy?


The author of a journal entry on a social networking website and other members of her family brought an action against author's sister's high school principal, who submitted the journal entry for republication in the local newspaper, and against the school district, for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Even if a student's sister had an invasion of privacy claim against her high school principal for having a journal entry that the student posted on a social networking Web site published in a local newspaper and attributed to the sister by her full name, the court concluded that the student and her parents did not have standing to assert their own invasion of privacy claims where the newspaper did not identify the student or her parents when it published the website journal entry.
