Supreme Court hears oral arguments on FCC fines against AT&T and Verizon over location data
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in consolidated cases FCC v. AT&T and Verizon Communications v. FCC, reviewing over $100 million in combined FCC fines against the two telecom companies for allegedly selling customers' location data to third parties. The cases center on whether the FCC's method of imposing and enforcing fines violates the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial. Justices including Kavanaugh and Gorsuch questioned the government over the FCC's apparent shift in position from earlier proceedings.
