The thing is... Is being a voting machine company enuf to qualify them as a "public figure", bcuz honestly... I dont think so. They only became public figures as a result of the defamation lobbied against them on national level platforms by existing public figures. If a public figure talking about you often is enuf to qualify you as a public figure; then in theory a public figure can target any non-public figure with all sorts of defamation even intentionally causing them a loss of their job, but as long as they cant prove malice then the person is immune bcuz they made the other party a public figure... by defaming them. Defamation of non-public figures holds entirely different standards of evidence specifically bcuz such can be used so easily against them in a very destructive way and most of them dont have the means to defend against such defamation, eg in courts or in responding back on their own national level platform.

There is a recent example of this from current events. When the Australian Bishop George Pell was arrested and tried of sexual abuse Australian newspapers could not (initially) use his name or identity him in their stories for awhile by court order of the Australian government. He was simply an "anonymous Catholic clergymen." Meanwhile, the American media printed stories about the case and used Pell's full name and were under no obligation to follow Australia's media laws. It was a weird situation. Americans knew more about George Pell for a while than the people of Australia because of the difference in the free speech laws.

GREAT SUGGESTION FOR A LIVESTREAM

To be honest, I don't like this ruling. I feel that it constitutes an unjustifiable intrusion of privacy. As long as the people aren't politicians or are really influential in politics, they should be allowed to sue for privacy invasion. Given the hell many actors have to go through with their personal life being so heavily documented. We need to acknowledge that celebrities are people too and do not forfeit their rights simply because they become famous. Yes, they put themselves in the spotlight on purpose but that's like saying just because your favourite dish is pasta, you should eat pasta 24/7.
