Privacy in the #digitalage – what do the Courts say?

The right to privacy is one of the most fundamental rights during the digital age we live in.

In a case called Carpenter v. the United States, the #Court stated that governments could not force companies to provide sensitive data about a person, and they need a warrant to do that.

Still, the law does not stop #governments from buying the data from intermediaries.

Advances in #technology have eroded Fourth Amendment protections, and the legal panorama on privacy looks old now.

Rewriting the privacy rules for the age of apps is imperative nowadays.

What are your thoughts on this issue?
