A nearly 40-year-old privacy law is at the center of a case to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court this fall. The Video Privacy Protection Act was passed in 1988 to prevent video rental stores from sharing customer rental information. The law is now being used to sue various companies that display video on their websites.

The case, Salazar v. Paramount Global, raises questions about who can sue under this law. Courts have disagreed on the answer to this question.

Further details about the case and its implications are available from the source, including the history of the law and its current applications.
