Supreme Court to weigh video privacy law for the internet era

Original: Court to hear argument on how a video privacy law applies in the internet age

The US Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on how the Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1988 law passed after a judge's video rental records were published, applies to today's internet companies. The case will test whether disclosures of streaming and viewing data online fall under the statute, with broad implications for digital privacy law and how tech platforms handle users' viewing histories.

Why now: The ruling could reshape how US privacy law governs streaming services and tech companies' handling of user data.
