WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Thursday in a case about the power of federal regulators to enforce data privacy laws on telecommunications companies.
The 8-1 decision upheld one of the Federal Communications Commission's key tools, though the case already surfaced an apparent change in how regulations are enforced.
The appeal from telecommunications giants Verizon and AT&T challenged multimillion-dollar penalties imposed after the agency determined that the companies had failed to safeguard customer location data.
