This tweet and its associated link discuss the issue of privacy when it comes to information given to third parties. The user argues that handing over personal information to companies such as FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google) doesn’t entitle individuals to privacy rights since these companies use this information for their business purposes. Additionally, a single sentence from the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit states that Internet content preservation isn’t considered a seizure and Terms of Service eliminate all internet privacy. The user suggests focusing on strengthening the Fourth Amendment against government actions rather than extending it to private party behavior, as people should not trust such companies with their data in the first place.
