Cellphone Privacy Just Got Protected | Ottawa News

Description

The Supreme Court just ruled that your cellphone location data is constitutionally protected — even if you’re using apps that track your movements. In a landmark decision tied to a bank robbery case, the court rejected the idea that using tech means you surrender your privacy. While dissenting justices argued that sharing data with companies like Google means it’s fair game for the government, the majority insisted ordinary phone use doesn’t equate to giving up your rights. The case was sent back to lower courts to decide if the specific warrant was valid — but this ruling marks a major step in defining digital privacy under the Fourth Amendment.
