AT&T and Verizon lose Supreme Court location data case

The Supreme Court has ruled 8–1 against AT&T and Verizon, upholding FCC fines levied on the carriers for illegally selling customers' location data to third parties. The carriers had argued the FCC process violated their right to a jury trial, a constitutional challenge the court firmly rejected. The ruling clears the way for the FCC to enforce its privacy penalties.
