Half of my life (my family blogs) have had to be taken off my blog and will stay off my blog from here on in. I WISH PEOPLE COULD STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF CENSOR THOSE WHO ARE HONEST.
I was well within my rights.
The privacy law for those who don't know it,

and a snippet from this site on privacy.
"The Court of Appeal decision in Hosking has further clarified the situation somewhat. The facts in the Hosking case are well known and do not require extensive examination here. In short, Mike and Marie Hosking attempted to stop New Idea magazine from publishing photos of their 18-month-old twin daughters. The pictures had been taken while Mrs Hosking was pushing her daughters in a buggy through a street in Auckland.
The Hoskings argued that their children’s privacy would be breached and that an injunction was an appropriate remedy. The court, however, said that the Hoskings’ case failed because the photos showed nothing that could not have been observed by a member of the public on the Auckland street on that particular day. It was also held that the photos were not highly offensive to a reasonable person.
Gault P and Blanchard J considered the two fundamental requirements for a breach of privacy were the existence of facts in respect of which there was a reasonable expectation of privacy and publicity given to those facts that would be considered highly offensive to an objective reasonable person."
