7. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary
interference with his privacy, family, home or
correspondence, nor to attacks upon his
honour and reputation. Everyone has the right
to the protection of the law against such
interference or attacks.

8. earliest (?) 1873
“Legislation and public opinion ought in all cases
whatever scrupulously to respect privacy… . To try
to regulate the internal affairs of a family, the
relations of love or friendship, or many other things
of the same sort, by law or by the coercion of
public opinion, is like trying to pull an eyelash out of
a man’s eye with a pair of tongs. They may put out
the eye, but they will never get hold of the eyelash.”

20. When I first started talking
about my project in 2003,
people thought I was insane.
Why would anyone tell
everyone what he was doing
at all times? Why would
anyone want to share a photo
of every place he visited? Now
eight years later, more than

800 million people do the
same thing I’ve been doing
each time they update their
status or post an image or
poke someone on Facebook.
