Supreme Court weighs scope of 1980s video privacy law

Original: Supreme Court weighs scope of 1980s video privacy law in internet newsletter age

The US Supreme Court is hearing a case that tests whether the Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1980s law written after a video rental leak, applies to modern internet newsletters and digital subscriptions. The justices must decide how a statute written for VHS rentals fits an era of online data sharing, a ruling with broad implications for digital privacy law.

Why now: The outcome could redefine how a decades-old privacy statute applies to today's online data practices, drawing wide interest from tech and privacy watchers.
