"Right to Reputation" is such a stupid legal concept.
A reputation is supposed to be something you deserve. If you *did* the thing and it harms your reputation when people talk about it, you have *no one but yourself* to blame.
It is completely nonsensical to have a right to a good reputation that is *undeserved*.
"It has to be of legitimate public interest", oh my goodness, what a "beautiful" victim-blaming tool for silencing any & all discrimination the judge sympathizes with. Of course it's "not of public interest" that John McDude is a rapist and publicizing that fact is harmful to his reputation. Yeah, given how relevant things like mass civil disobedience and jury nullification have been in various civil rights movements, I don't think relying on the judge having good judgement is a sane position to take.
As for people spreading falsehoods that harm? Defamation and harassment already exist to cover that, there is zero need for unjustified and unjustifiable reputation bullshit.
