Supreme Court Affirms FCC's Fine Enforcement Process in Data Privacy Case

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Federal Communications Commission, upholding the constitutionality of its forfeiture process.

The Court's majority opinion noted that companies retain their right to a jury trial since the FCC must seek court enforcement for fines.
