Supreme Court takes up internet privacy case over decades-old law
Original: Justices confront internet privacy with Blockbuster-era law
The US Supreme Court is hearing arguments on internet privacy in a case that hinges on the Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1988 law passed after a video rental store disclosed a Supreme Court nominee's rental history. The justices must decide how a statute written for VHS-era video stores applies to modern online streaming and digital data sharing practices.
Why now: The ruling could shape how a 1980s privacy statute governs today's online data-sharing practices.
