NetChoice Amicus Brief Supporting Chatrie in Chatrie v. United States

NetChoice filed a brief in the United States Supreme Court in Chatrie v. United States. NetChoice’s brief urges the Court to recognize that property interests can be created by a websites’ terms of service–which is sufficient to create a privacy interest for Fourth Amendment purposes. NetChoice makes clear that this property interest must be tied to an affirmative creation of a privacy expectation (most often through the text of a user-agreement). And recognizing that users can have a property interest in their data ensures that the Fourth Amendment’s protections will endure in the digital age.
