The Supreme Court will hear the case Michael Salazar v. Paramount Global to determine if Paramount violated the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) by disclosing a user’s viewing history to Facebook without consent. Salazar claims that Paramount shared his personally identifiable information, including his Facebook ID, through a Facebook Pixel on its site after he signed up for an online newsletter. The legal dispute centers on the definition of “consumer” under the VPPA and whether it applies to all services provided by video tape service providers. Oral arguments are expected in the court’s 2026-27 term.
