Is public information private?

As for whether human flesh search is an invasion of privacy, there is only a principled definition in the Tort Liability Law, but there is no specific operating standard, so generally speaking, if there are no serious consequences, such cases will be mediated or withdrawn. Serious consequences refer to the consequences of the victim's suicide and self-mutilation.

For private content, more details are needed to judge. I don't think the information disclosed by some individuals on the Internet is private, because the Internet itself is an open platform. If you publish information yourself, it will be open to unspecified people by default, which is not privacy. Some encrypted information, such as the photos in the encrypted photo album, or some information extracted or inferred by technical processing means, can be considered as privacy.

Generally speaking, human flesh search is controversial at present. On the other hand, there are often some unspeakable reasons why the victim was killed by human flesh, and even the court is unwilling to get involved in this mixed water.
