Supreme Court confronts internet privacy under decades-old law
Original: Justices confront internet privacy with Blockbuster-era law
The US Supreme Court is weighing a privacy dispute that hinges on a law written in the era of Blockbuster video stores, long before modern data collection. The case asks how far protections against disclosing video rental records extend to today's internet services, and justices appeared to wrestle with applying the 1980s statute to contemporary digital privacy concerns.
Why now: The Supreme Court heard arguments on a landmark privacy case with major implications for how old privacy laws apply to the modern internet.
