Supreme Court Weighs 1988 Video Law in Paramount Facebook Data Case

The 1988 law originally barred video rental stores from disclosing customer tape rentals. Justice Samuel Alito's colleagues on the bench expressed doubt about the scope of the statute, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh questioning if a firm hosting a 3 minute clip would be a "videotape supplier." Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson also pressed defense attorney Clement on whether requiring consumer consent could resolve the dispute.
