Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Massachusetts

If the article contains false statements of fact about you, it is possible that you could have an action against the publisher for libel. In rare instances involving the publication of extremely private facts about an individual that amount to an invasion of privacy, and there is no legitimate public interest in the facts, one might have an invasion of privacy claim against the publisher. In these circumstances, it can sometimes be possible to persuade a news publisher to withdraw or retract something it has published. In bringing litigation, additional publicity about the unwanted notoriety can sometimes occur and is a factor to be considered.
