Supreme Court leans toward allowing lawsuit 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 heard arguments in a case testing whether a lawsuit over internet practices can proceed under the Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1988 law passed after a Supreme Court nominee's video rentals were disclosed. Justices appeared inclined to let the suit move forward, a ruling that could expand the nearly forgotten statute's use against modern online data-sharing.
Why now: The case could reshape how a decades-old privacy statute applies to today's internet companies and consumer data sharing.
