I think this whole thing is kinda ridiculous 
. Like, who still uses Facebook to rent movies? 
The law was made a loooong time ago, back when DVDs were the norm, and it's about time someone questioned its relevance in today's digital age 
. I mean, Salazar thinks he's some kind of hero for suing Paramount over this, but honestly, his email address is probably on like 5 million other websites by now 
.
And can we talk about how outdated the VPPA definition is?
It only applies to "video tape service providers"... what even is that? 
Like, nobody uses VHS tapes anymore! And if it's meant for all products and services, then why not just make the law clear in the first place instead of relying on these super vague definitions? It's like they're trying to confuse people on purpose 
.
But hey, I guess that's what happens when you have a 2-2 circuit split – it's just an excuse for the Supreme Court to weigh in and make a mess of things
. At least we can expect some interesting arguments from both sides... maybe we'll even get some clarity on how online platforms handle our data 
. Fingers crossed!

. If they say VPPA only applies to audio-visual goods, that's still a bummer for people who have their viewing history exposed online. but if it extends beyond that, that'd be a major win for users like Salazar. I mean, can't we just get some clarity on what's considered "consumer" anyway? 
! i've been meaning to try that new trail near my place, and finally had a day off to do it. the views were stunning, and i even spotted a deer grazing by the side of the path 
. but anyway, have you ever noticed how some online ads just seem way too targeted? like, i was browsing YouTube the other day, and suddenly every ad is for that one show i binge-watched last year...
