4th Amendment & Third Party Doctrine -
Key issue the court had was the third party doctrine and how it impacts 4th amendment.
Unites States v Miller, 1976 - A person has no reasonable expectation of privacy as it relates to banking and bank records.
The third-party doctrine says there is no expectation of privacy in information voluntarily provided to others.
On June 22, 2018, as the 2017-18 term wound down, the Supreme Court released its long-awaited decision in Carpenter v. U.S.[1] The Court held, 5-4, that when the police obtain cell site location information (CSLI) about a person's cell phone usage, that action constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment.

DEF CON 31 - An Audacious Plan to Halt the Internet's Ensh*ttification - Cory Doctorow
The enshittification of the internet follows a predictable trajectory: first, platforms are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

The Hacktivist, Award Winning Short Film Documentary:
Celebrity hacker Andrew 'Bunnie' Huang first clashed with US tech giant Microsoft for teaching others how to modify the Xbox. Almost 20 years later, he is suing the US government to push for the right to use and own technology, all while creating hackable hardware with other tech superstars like whistleblower Edward Snowden and firmware hacker Sean Cross.
Bunnie is convinced that, âIf you canât hack what you have, you donât own it.â This documentary tinkers with the hackerâs mind on issues around transparency and privacy in the hardware world, all while Bunnie dismantles his childhood, his philosophy, and his controversy.
