Celebrity's Leaked or hacked Photos Violates their Privacy or Not?

The privacy issue is very tricky for celebrities. Does celebrities have a right to privacy?  According to the data, 33% said “No” and claimed “They signed a contract which basically gave the media the right to see their private lives. They make the majority of their money of their money off the public press. They are also paid so people can see their private lives. All in all they don’t deserve privacy at all.” Those who agreed with celebrities’ privacy claimed “Celebrities are also human like us. Like we want our privacy be safe, they want their privacy be safe. It's unfair when their privacy is show in public just because they are living in the pblic spotlight. ” I agree with most of people that they still have a right to privacy.

However, in the digital age, it's so hard for celebrities to protect their privacy.  It's so easy for hackers and the public to search the information about a celebrity.

I think all of you must know about the 2014 celebrity photo hack on August 31, 2014, a collection of almost 500 private pictures of various celebrities, mostly women, and with many containing nudity, were posted on the imageboard 4chan, and later disseminated by other users on websites and social networks such as Imgur, Reddit and Tumblr. 

The photo hack ruined many celebrities’ fame and life. I think those hackers badly violated those celebrities’ privacy. Even though those celebrities should be exposed to flashlight all the time, and reveal their private life in some situations, their privacy need to be protected. For them, exposing to the flashlight is sort of work. They also need to separate their life and work. 

In addition to hacked celebrity photos, their leaked photos also cause them into lots of trouble. Take a movie star in China for example. Since her private photos were leaked to the public, her career was destroyed, and she was criticized by the public. She is not popular any more.  

So I am thinking as a celebrity, what the line between violating their privacy and revealing their profile at an appropriate level? Unlike us, celebrities’ profile is easily searchable. Everyone with the internet can access to them. Then what about the information they want to hide from the public? This makes me think about that another female movie star lied about her age. After her real age was revealed, some of her fans turned back to her, and claimed “she is a liar”. However, I think the age should be privacy, right? It makes sense if they hide their age.
