Mega retailer Walmart is facing a class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, alleging the retail giant violated federal privacy laws by sharing customers’ video viewing information with Meta Platforms, Inc., formerly known as Facebook.
The plaintiffs—Laurie Brown, Oluwakemi Fosudo, and Abigail Musick—claim Walmart’s actions breached the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), which safeguards consumers’ video rental and purchase histories.
