CBS.com VPPA Complaint Is Ordered to Arbitration

Paramount Global's motion to compel arbitration and stay a lawsuit claiming Video Privacy Protection Act violations by the company (see 2211180042) has been granted, U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois John Kness ordered Tuesday (docket 1:22-cv-03666). The suit alleged Paramount Global shared with Facebook personally identifiable information of people watching videos on CBS.com. Kness said the CBS.com terms of service don't contain an explicit clause about delegating to arbitration, but they incorporate references that give an arbitrator the power to determine arbitratability.
