T-Mobile 出售客戶定位資料卻稱合法,法院駁回其上訴
➤ 法院堅定立場,駁回電信業者非法出售客戶位置資料的辯詞
✤ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/t-mobile-claimed-selling-location-data-without-consent-is-legal-judges-disagree/
T-Mobile 試圖推翻美國聯邦通信委員會(FCC)處以 9200 萬美元罰款的決定,該罰款是因其在未經客戶同意的情況下出售客戶的實時位置資料給第三方而開罰。聯邦上訴法院近日裁定,T-Mobile 的上訴失敗,駁回了其主張出售定位資料合法的辯詞。法院強調,手機本身就是追蹤裝置,而電信業者收集的客戶位置資料是極其敏感的個人隱私。此外,法院也駁回了 T-Mobile 主張因 FCC 裁決未經陪審團審理而違反憲法的論點,認為業者選擇直接上訴,已放棄了陪審團審理的權利。目前 AT&T 和 Verizon 針對類似裁決的上訴仍在進行中。
+ 終於有法院出來說話了!這些電

Behold, an "interpretation" that the Communications Act of 1934 empowers the Federal Communications Commission to regulate #AI.
Along with the #FCC chairman's previous grab at regulating the internet.
No good will come of this.

#Meta #AI rules have let bots hold ‘sensual’ chats with #kids, offer false #medical info.

#Netneutrality advocates will not appeal the 6th #Circuit’s ruling against the #FCC’s net neutrality rules, citing the #conservativemajorities at both the FCC and Supreme Court.

Robocall Crackdown: 37 Telecom Providers Warned
Operation Robocall Roundup, led by AG Aaron M. Frey & 50 AGs, is targeting networks that fail FCC compliance and enable scam robocalls.
Infractions include:
- Skipping Robocall Mitigation Database

- No prevention plans
FCC is already removing some from its network.
What’s the right penalty for these providers?
