[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The influencer chooses to put themselves (and often their family, home, etc) out there for profit. They do this willingly to cash in and they have NO issue spending (and bragging about) the spoils.

But then when someone happens - a death, a crime, whatever, they immediately sue to have otherwise public documents (police reports, etc) sealed.

It just seems hypocritical to me. [b]Especially when the documents would be public record for literally anyone else. [/b]

I don’t know or care about this specific influencer, it’s just one example and I’ve seen it with others. I just find the whole thing so hypocritical when your entire business model is having the public up in your business.

Well couldn't "literally anyone else" sue to prevent their disclosure as well? There's special law for influencers, she just has a reason to use the legal tools available that most of us don't have. If my kid died, there likely wouldn't be any requests for the records, because I'm not someone anyone cares about.[/quote]

But if a random person sued, they would most likely lose.

I definitely agree an argument could be made for why this is public in the first place. But I don’t think these folks should get special treatment when they put themselves out there. It’s like the Meghan/Harry thing. You can’t want all the attention and then be shocked when people are giving you too much attention. [/quote]
