The idea of a right to privacy was first addressed within a legal context
in the United States. Louis Brandeis (later a Supreme Court justice) and
another young lawyer, Samuel D. Warren, published an article called
'The Right to Privacy' in the Harvard Law Review in 1890 arguing that
the constitution and the common law allowed for the deduction of a
general "right to privacy".[5] Their project was never entirely successful,
and the renowned tort expert Dean Prosser argued that "privacy" was
composed of four separate torts, the only unifying element of which was
a (vague) "right to be left alone."[6] These elements were
1. appropriating the plaintiff's identity for the defendant's
benefit
2. placing the plaintiff in a false light in the public eye
3. publicly disclosing private facts about the plaintiff
4. unreasonably intruding upon the seclusion or solitude of
the plaintiff
