Direct Marketing Ass'n v. Brohl

Direct marketing Association v. Brohl is a court case about online privacy and whether companies have the right to collect personal information from people without their consent. In this case, the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) sued the state of Colorado because the state had passed a law that required companies to ask for people’s permission before collecting their personal information online. The DMA said this was unconstitutional because it violated companies' right to free speech. The court ultimately decided that the state of Colorado could require companies to get people's permission before collecting their information. This case showed that states can pass laws to protect people's privacy online even if it limits companies' free speech.
