SCOTUS Rules Against AT&T, Verizon Over Fines For Selling Location Data

The case reached the Supreme Court after a split among federal appeals courts

Last year, AT&T persuaded the 5th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals to throw out an FCC fine, arguing that the agency’s process improperly bypassed a jury.

Verizon, however, lost a similar challenge before the 2nd Circuit, creating conflicting rulings that prompted Supreme Court review.
