Supreme Court leans toward allowing suit under old video privacy law
Original: Court appears likely to allow internet suit based on decades-old video privacy law to go forward
The Supreme Court appears ready to let a lawsuit proceed under the Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1980s law passed after a judge's rental records were disclosed. The case tests whether the decades-old statute, written for VHS-era video stores, applies to modern internet streaming and data-sharing practices. Justices' questions at oral argument suggested a majority may allow the internet-based suit to go forward.
Why now: The ruling could shape how a decades-old privacy statute applies to today's online streaming and data practices.
