The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has recently revived a proposed class action under the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), which may lead to a surge in litigation concerning consumer privacy. This broad interpretation of the VPPA, originally enacted in 1998 to protect the privacy of video rental records, could impact businesses utilizing video content on their websites, particularly those employing tracking pixels from platforms like TikTok and Meta. Additionally, the Second Circuit has provided support for employers facing claims under the Wage Theft Prevention Act (WTPA) in federal court. Meanwhile, the Sixth Circuit has made a significant ruling regarding disability accommodations, which may influence future litigation in this area. Legal analysts are closely monitoring these developments as they could reshape the landscape of communications and labor law.
