AT&T and Verizon lose Supreme Court case over fines for selling location data
摘要
美国最高法院裁定，AT&T和Verizon因未经用户同意出售实时位置数据而被罚款，其上诉未能推翻处罚。最高法院以8比1的裁决维持了联邦通信委员会的罚款程序，认为其未违反陪审团审判权。此前，AT&T在第五巡回上诉法院胜诉，Verizon在第二巡回法院败诉，最高法院为统一裁决而受理此案。2024年，FCC对两家运营商共罚款1.04亿美元，涉及2018年曝光的违规
AT&T and Verizon lost an attempt to overturn fines for selling users’ real-time location data without consent, as the Supreme Court ruled today that the Federal Communications Commission process for issuing financial penalties did not violate the right to a jury trial.
AT&T convinced the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to overturn its fine last year, while Verizon lost in the 2nd Circuit. The Supreme Court took up the case to resolve the circuit split and reversed the 5th Circuit decision in today's ruling, which was 8-1 with Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting.
AT&T and Verizon were fined a total of $104 million by the FCC in 2024 for violations revealed in 2018. The carriers paid their fines and challenged them in circuit appeals courts, where judges’ panels ruled on the cases. Carriers claimed this system deprived them of the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial.
