大象传媒

One of the most trending topics on twitter is Andrew Marr. He's a high profile 大象传媒 presenter who won a High Court order so that the media couldn't talk about his extramarital affair. These so-called gagging orders (and there have been a spate of them recently from footballers and actors in the UK) bring up quite a few questions about freedom of speech and freedom of information, not least for a journalist who takes out one.

Today, Mr. Marr is in the news because he has become one of the first famous figures to waive his right to secrecy, he says it's because he was embarrassed by the injunction and that the use of these types of court orders by wealthy celebrities has got and in his words 'out of control' So now that's one type of privacy, what are your thoughts on it? Should celebrities be afforded this type of privacy? Max Clifford in the Telegraph calls it 'a privacy law for the rich'

Now, what about that other story that was trending this week that Apple can track your whereabouts, some were alarmed by this but did it stop you using your Iphone? Not me...

The fact we can tweet and text from anywhere means much of the information coming out of - Syria today - for example - (yes it's another trending topic) gives us a better - if still incomplete version of what's happening in the world.

So we we live more transparently - is it a good thing that there's no such thing as real privacy anymore?
