Supreme Court cases are not about the case. They're about the implications of precedent.
- taeric 3y agoThis is just paranoia, though. Leaving aside that state supreme court decisions are overturned often, case law tries to be narrowly applied where it can. And this specific case is fairly narrow.
- autoexec 3y ago> This is just paranoia, though. I think we're well past the point where concerns about the state abusing personal data collected by corporations can be called "paranoia" in good faith. It's reality that the government abuses their ability to access the data being collected about us. The more abuses the law enables the more abuses we should expect to see. It's possible that this will be overturned at some point, or that other courts will rule differently in similar circumstances, but I wouldn't count on it. The courts don't have a great track record when it comes to preventing police from violating our rights or when it comes to preventing spying on the American people.
- taeric 3y agoIf this is just a call to keep oversight on the process, I'm perfectly fine with it. If there is evidence that this particular process is getting abused, make a scene and lets correct that. My assertion is that this is just not that case.
