Supreme Court likely to allow video privacy lawsuit to proceed
Original: Court appears likely to allow internet suit based on decades-old video privacy law to go forward
The Supreme Court heard arguments in a case testing whether a lawsuit under the Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1980s law written before the modern internet, can move forward over online data-sharing practices. Justices appeared inclined to let the suit proceed, with several suggesting the law's protections may extend to digital streaming and video data. A ruling could shape how companies handle viewers' online viewing records.
Why now: The outcome could redefine how a decades-old privacy statute applies to modern online video services.
