The fourth amendment is basically gone at this point. Private companies can harvest location data from phones or facial recognition cameras/license plate readers in public spaces and sell that to entities like Palantir that aggregate it for government use (or for other commercial use). No warrants required, very little oversight (especially in this admin).

One favorable ruling could cause all of that corporate fuckery to come crashing down, but it doesn't seem imminent.
