Supreme Court Upholds Verizon's $47M Location-Data Fine

The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the FCC can issue forfeiture orders without a jury, upholding the ruling against Verizon over its $46.9 million fine for selling access to customers' location data and reversing AT&T's win over its $57 million fine.

The Supreme Court held that FCC forfeiture orders under 47 U.S.C. 503(b)(4) do not violate the Seventh Amendment even though no jury is involved^[1]
The orders do not settle a carrier's obligation to pay, because the government can collect only through a trial de novo before a jury^[1]
The Fifth Circuit's ruling for AT&T was reversed and the Second Circuit's ruling against Verizon was affirmed; Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the Court and Justice Thomas dissented^[1]
The FCC had fined Verizon $46,901,250 in April 2024 for selling access to customers' location information through aggregators without reasonable safeguards^[3][4]
The case was argued on 21 April 2026^[1][2]
