Privacy & New Media

A Federal Court of Appeals has ruled in Perry v. CNN, a case concerning the disclosure of video viewing records.

The Appeals Court held that the plaintiff, a mobile app user, wasn’t a “subscriber” under the video privacy law, following an earlier similar decision by the same court.
