Though an important Supreme Court ruling on privacy this week dealt with a seven-year-old case, it saw the justices looking forward, into a future where ever-evolving technology is increasingly used to spy on people. In effect, the Supreme Court is saying that “just because it’s easier to invade our privacy, doesn’t mean it’s allowed,” said Dunn. There are a lot of people, women included, who knew of privacy invasions in public places for a long time.
