Summary:
This week, Note to Self gets in our time machine, back to the court cases that brought privacy from the founding fathers to Google Docs. Stories of bookies on the Sunset Strip, microphones taped to phone booths, and a 1975 Monte Carlo. And where the Fourth Amendment needs to go, now that were living in the future.
The amendment doesnt mention privacy once. But those 54 little words, written more than 200 years ago, are a crucial battleground in todays fight over our digital rights. That one sentence is why the government cant listen to your phone calls without a warrant. And its why they dont need one to find out who youre calling.
But now, we share our deepest thoughts with Google, through what we search for and what we email. And we share our most intimate conversations with Alexa, when we talk in its vicinity. So how does the Fourth Amendment apply when were surrounded by technology the Founding Fathers could never dream of?
