PREVIEW
1. In the case of H v W, Judge Nigel Willis had this to say "...The law has to take
into account changing realities not only technologically but also socially or else it
will lose credibility in the eyes of the people. without credibility, law loses
legitimacy. If law lose legitimacy, it loses acceptance, If it loses acceptance, it loses
obedience. It is imperative that the courts respond appropriately to changing times,
acting cautiously and with wisdom."
With that in mind:
1.1 What is the impact of social media on the constitutional right to Privacy (125
words) 5 marks
The impact of social media on the constitutional right to privacy has been significant. With
the widespread use of social media platforms, individuals are constantly sharing personal
information and details of their lives, often without fully understanding the implications of
their actions. This has led to an erosion of privacy rights, as individuals' personal
information is now easily accessible to a wide audience, including employers, advertisers,
and even potential hackers. Furthermore, the ability of social media companies to collect
and monetize user data has raised concerns about government surveillance and the
protection of individuals' privacy rights. As a result, the courts have had to carefully
consider how to balance the right to privacy with the realities of the digital age, in order to
ensure that individuals' fundamental rights are protected.
