Public and private persons are treated differently under libel laws primarily due to their varying degrees of exposure to public scrutiny and the need to balance free speech with protection from false statements. Public figures, such as celebrities and politicians, must prove "actual malice"—that the false statement was made with knowledge of its falsity or with reckless disregard for the truth—because they have greater access to channels of communication to counter false claims. In contrast, private individuals only need to demonstrate negligence to win a libel case, as they have a more limited ability to defend their reputations in the public sphere. This distinction aims to protect individuals' reputations while still allowing robust public discourse about public figures.
