On January 26, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari in one case:
Salazar v. Paramount Global, No. 25-459: This case interprets the Video Privacy Protection Act (“VPPA”), a 1988 federal law that prohibits disclosures of certain information from audiovisual providers. There is a split between Circuit Courts of Appeals on the scope of the VPPA, which has been the subject of many recent data disclosure lawsuits. The question presented is: Whether the phrase “goods or services from a video tape service provider,” as used in the VPPA’s definition of “consumer,” refers to all of a video tape service provider’s goods or services or only to its audiovisual goods or services.
