There is no hard and fast guidelines, it's handled on a case-by-case basis.Only one part, how is "public figure" defined by law? AND I will point to these being legislative restrictions not constitutional restrictions (in case Ikari wishes to ressurrect the busted identity argument).
But basically, if you're in the news or noteworthy, you're likely to be classified as a public figure.
