The US Supreme Court has issued a landmark ruling, establishing significant protections for digital privacy rights by limiting the government’s ability to access individuals’ online data without a warrant. The decision, which was handed down in a 5-4 vote, marks a major shift in the court’s approach to digital privacy and is expected to have far-reaching implications for law enforcement and tech companies. The ruling specifically addresses the issue of police accessing individuals’ cell phone location data, holding that such access constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment and requires a warrant.
