Court allows Viacom to invade privacy of Youtube viewers
Dan Thornton | July 3, 2008
Due to the litigation case between Viacom and Google, a federal court has ordered Google to produce:
all data from the Logging database concerning each time a YouTube video has been viewed on the YouTube website or through embedding on a third-party website
Time to boycott any Viacom products? Read more details on how this erroneously ignores the protection of the US Video Privacy Protection Act on the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s website. For the record, actions like this are a far bigger problem than Twitter failing to scale!
