>It feels like a rare treat these days to be able to share positive updates related to our privacy and cybersecurity work. But we are happy to report that three different courts of appeals have issued favorable decisions this summer supporting strong protections for cell phone location data. Specifically, the courts held that the cell phone carriers (like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile) are legally required to protect the privacy of the location data created when our mobile phones connect to their networks. This conclusion may seem obvious to our readers here—if carriers have to protect the privacy of your communications data, why wouldn’t they be required to protect location data as well? But the journey to get to this point has been quite a saga, spanning well over five years.
