AT&T & #Verizon lose #SupremeCourt case over fines for selling #location data
AT&T & Verizon lost an attempt to overturn fines for selling usersâ real-time location data without consent, as the Supreme Court ruled today that the FCC process for issuing financial penalties did not violate the right to a jury trial.
AT&T convinced the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to overturn its fine last year, while Verizon lost in the 2nd Circuit. The Supreme Court took up the case to resolve the circuit split and reversed the 5th Circuit decision in today's ruling, which was 8-1 with Justice #ClarenceThomas dissenting.
#ATT & Verizon were fined a total of $104 million by the #FCC in 2024 for violations revealed in 2018. The carriers paid their fines and challenged them in circuit appeals courts, where judgesâ panels ruled on the cases. Carriers claimed this system deprived them of the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday issued an 8â1 ruling that revived a $400âmillion judgment against four cruiseâline operatorsâCaribbean Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Carnival Corporation and MSCâŻCruisesâfor docking in Havana between 2016 and 2019 under a littleâused 1996 law that permits suits against parties that profit from property confiscated by the Cuban government; the Court noted that previous presidents had blocked enforcement of the law but President Trump had allowed the claims to proceed, and Justice Thomas wrote that the cruise lines, which paid the Cuban government tens of millions of dollars and earned hundreds of millions from the voyages, should be liable, while Justice Kagan dissented, arguing the dockâproperty interest had expired in 2004; a lowerâcourt order requiring each line to pay $100âŻmillion was stayed by the appeals court, and a similar claim by Exxon Mobil remains pending.
