Supreme Court weighs 1980s video rental law against newsletters

Original: Supreme Court case pits 1980s video rental law versus modern newsletters

The US Supreme Court is hearing a case that tests whether the Video Privacy Protection Act, a 1980s law written after a Supreme Court nominee's rental records were leaked, applies to modern digital newsletters and online subscriptions. The dispute centres on whether sharing readers' names or email activity with third parties counts as knowingly disclosing rental information, with broad implications for online privacy litigation.

Why now: The ruling could reshape privacy lawsuits over how websites share subscriber data.
