McFall v. Shimp

McFall v. Shimp is a case from 1983. It was a court case in the United States that decided that a person’s right to privacy is more important than someone else’s right to share their opinions. In the case, McFall was mad at Shimp because Shimp said some things that McFall thought were bad and disrespectful. McFall wanted Shimp to stop talking about him and take down some of the things that he said. The court decided that it was more important for Shimp to have the right to say what he wanted than it was for McFall to have the right to be left alone. So, even though McFall was mad, the court said that Shimp was allowed to keep talking about McFall and not take down the things he said.
