Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The photograph of Paul, while not directly defamatory, could put him in a false light or misleading context by implying that he is a gambler, which could harm his reputation. False light is a type of invasion of privacy and does not require the plaintiff to prove malice or have a greater burden of proof like public figures for defamation. Therefore, Paul can claim damages on the grounds of false light.
