Lawsuit accuses Amazon of secretly tracking consumers through cellphones

Amazon was sued on Wednesday by consumers who accused the retailing giant of secretly tracking their movements through their cellphones, and selling data it collects.

Amazon allegedly obtained "backdoor access" to phones by providing app developers with code known as Amazon Ads SDK to be embedded in their apps.

MastodonLawfare (@lawfare@mastodon.social)Last week the Fifth Circuit ruled that the Fourth Amendment does not allow courts to issue warrants for geofence records. Orin Kerr explains why this ruling conflicts with the precedent on gov't access to location data and should be overturned. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-fifth-circuit-shuts-down-geofence-warrants-and-maybe-a-lot-more
