Redefining privacy

The ruling provides Fourth Amendment protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures" from one of the most common and invasive government surveillance techniques, lawyers and privacy advocates say. And it could pave the way for restrictions on how law enforcement can seek other kinds of digital data, from internet browsing to use of phone applications to walking under the gaze of surveillance cameras.

The ruling could also set standards for privacy in other aspects of American life where people's digital activity is mined for information.

"This takes us a lot closer to the European system, which makes personal information sacrosanct," said Nick Akerman, a former federal prosecutor and cybercrime expert. "It's really defining what we view as private."

This is a positive ruling as it confirms our freedoms. The actions of the Obama administration is illustration enough of how government can abuse us citizens.

That really sounds bot-like.  From a non-english locale.
