Allison Young & Diane Ackerman: Your Data Is Private… Until Law Enforcement Wants It
A DEF CON 31 talk on how personal data from smartphones can be used by law enforcement in investigations. The speakers demonstrate how easily information about health, lifestyle, and reproductive choices can be extracted from phones and popular apps.
The talk examines digital forensics tools, real-world search warrants, and the limits of legal protections for such data — including weaknesses in how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information.
