AT&T Customer Data
In July 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against AT&T for allegedly misleadingly representing that it does not share or sell data about customers when, according to the complaint, the company routinely provides information about the real-time location of customers to third parties without the customers’ consent and without legal authority. (Scott et al v. AT&T Inc. et al, Case No. 19-cv-4063, N. D. CA.)
