The Supreme Courts Groundbreaking Privacy Victory for the Digital Age

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that police need a warrant before they can seize peoples sensitive location information stored by cellphone companies. The ruling has broad implications for government access to all manner of information collected about people and stored by the purveyors of popular technologies. The court rejects the government’s expansive argument that people lose their privacy rights merely by using those technologies, the court said. The government’s argument that it needed no warrant for these records extends far beyond cellphone location information, to any data generated by modern technologies rather than in our homes or pockets.”]
