Rewinding the VPPA: Circuits Split Over Who Counts as a Consumer in the Digital Age

Oct 3, 2025

In 1988, Congress enacted the Video Privacy Protection Act, after a reporter obtained a copy of a Judge’s videotape rental history and published the information during the Judge’s Supreme Court nomination hearings. While the Act is no longer applicable to consumers of now-defunct video tape rental stores, the question is whether the Act protects consumers of digital audiovisual content from sites like Facebook, online newspaper publishers, or apps that offer videos. KLJ Staff Editor Azia Meeks describes the circuit split and gives her own opinion on the best interpretation of the statute to ensure consumers remain protected in a world where digital privacy rights are more important than ever.
