略论公众人物的隐私权

On Privacy of the Public Person

《民法典 (草案 )》首次在立法上使用了“公众人物”的概念 ,但在随后的九届全国人大常委会第 31次会议的审议中即被删除。笔者认为 ,今天的中国已经具备了对“公众人物”进行社会监督的基础和空间。“公众人物”也是人 ,他们也和普通人一样享有宪法和其他法律赋予的一切权利包括隐私权 ,同时又由于他们是“公众人物” 。

The public person, who appeared firstly in the civil law code (draft), was deleted in the succeeding 31st meeting of the standing committee of the ninth national congress. In my opinion, there is enough basis and space in which we supervise the public person. The public person can enjoy the rights regulated by the constitution and other laws including privacy like any other usual person in the society, meanwhile, their rights should be limited because of their status.
