   Supreme Court to decide on video privacy law's application to targeted ads

   The US Supreme Court will hear a case on whether a 1988 law protecting video rental privacy applies to online targeted advertising. The Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) was enacted after a journalist published a Supreme Court nominee's movie rental history. The case, Salazar v. Paramount Global, may determine if online services must obtain user consent before sharing viewing data.

   Why it matters

   This case has significant implications for online advertising and user privacy. The VPPA has been in place since 1988, but its application to modern online services is unclear. The Supreme Court's decision could either limit or expand the law's scope.

   What is confirmed

   • The Supreme Court will hear the case Salazar v. Paramount Global.
   • The case involves the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) of 1988.
   • The VPPA was enacted to protect video rental privacy.
   • The case may impact online targeted advertising.

   Still unconfirmed

   • The Supreme Court's decision could limit or expand the VPPA's scope.
