Law, News & Politics, Social Media, Society & Culture

A video of Brazilian bank employee Jennifer Castro refusing to give up her window seat for a crying child went viral, making her the target of intense online backlash. The incident catapulted her into social media fame and had serious personal and professional consequences.

Now, she is suing the airline and the passenger who filmed her without consent, arguing that her privacy was violated and that she was unfairly shamed.

So, where do we draw the line between personal rights and social expectations?
