CDT Urges Senators to Ask Kavanaugh About IoT Warrantless Searches
Senators should ask Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh if the government should be required to obtain a warrant to access data from cloud-based IoT devices, said the Center for Democracy & Technology Wednesday. CDT outlined questions for Kavanaugh on privacy and surveillance, among other topics. CDT is seeking Kavanaugh’s thoughts on the Supreme Court’s recent Carpenter decision (see 1807050025) that government collection of at least seven days of cellsite location information constitutes a Fourth Amendment-protected search. The group also seeks comments on Spokeo v. Robins.
