Story summary
  • The U.S. Supreme Court will rule on Michael Salazar v. Paramount Global, a case under the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA).
  • Salazar says Paramount violated the VPPA by sharing his viewing history with Facebook without consent and argues it covers content users.
  • The Sixth Circuit ruled Salazar did not qualify as a 'consumer' because he subscribed to a newsletter, not audiovisual materials, a decision that could limit the VPPA's reach.
