The Supreme Court will hear Salazar v. Paramount Global in the October 2026 term to resolve a circuit split on the definition of “consumer” under the Video Privacy Protection Act. The case arises from a class action alleging Paramount disclosed a user’s video‑viewing history via a Meta tracking pixel without consent. Lower courts dismissed the claim, with the Sixth Circuit affirming dismissal in April 2025.
Why it matters: The ruling will determine how broadly the VPPA applies to digital video platforms and tracking technologies.
