What happened
A proposed class action against The University of Phoenix, Inc., apparently alleging that the university disclosed users' video-viewing information to third parties such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft, and Amazon in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act. Those are allegations in a pending case, not proven facts and not a settlement. The court recently granted in part and denied in part a motion to dismiss, allowing certain VPPA claims to proceed while dismissing others.
