Its time to kick that shit out the door.
The third-party doctrine is a United States legal theory that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy." A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant.

Luckily, we won the other day with a 5-4 ruling against unwarranted cell phone tracking.

Think about "smart homes"
You can turn on appliances, close your garage door and watch your security cameras from your phone.
Does that mean, to our political activists in the SC, that we dont have privacy protections? Because that is EXACTLY what their doctrine implies.
Our own Gorsuch says the SC never gave a persuasive justification for it. I totally agree. I really like that guy!
Basically, this doctrine locks the 4th amendment out of the 21st century.
We need it gone.
