How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a hash-match alone does not defeat a reasonable expectation of privacy in an unopened digital file
• holding that Google’s terms of service, which “repeatedly qualif[ied] the content review that the company ‘may’ conduct,” did not negate the defendant’s expectation of privacy against the Government
• noting that “the hash match of [an unviewed] image to one earlier identified . . . as depicting child pornography provide[s] strong probable cause” for a search warrant to view the file
• “[W]here the government relies on hash matching or other technology to carry that burden, it assumes the obligation of demonstrating the technology’s reliability.”
