Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does the Fourth Amendment require a warrant to obtain subscriber information associated with an IP address?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Once it is linked to a particular subscriber, an Internet Protocol address is capable of revealing a wealth of private information about that subscriber’s online activities. Does the Fourth Amendment therefore require a warrant supported by probable cause for the government to obtain the subscriber information associated with an Internet Protocol address? 2. Should this Court abandon the third-party doctrine in favor of case-by-case consideration of whether an interest falls within the scope of the Fourth Amendment’s protections? i PARTIES AND PROCEEDINGS All
