Too Long; Didn't Read
The Oxford dictionary defines privacy as a “state in which one is not observed or disturbed by other people” Privacy is a human right like any other right recognized by the UN and other International and Regional treaties. In 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed this right to privacy in Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence. The fact that you cheated on your grade 12 exams or that you had a threesome in your 20s are things that you might prefer to keep private.
