Answer 1

Answer:

Digital Age brings us new ways to get socialized and give opportunity to peoples to connect to the globe.with the digital network Us constitutions bring seizure and search approach in the form of fourth amendment.

The first phrase of the Fourth Amendment says, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.”

If there was a search or seizure, if it was of protected things, and if it was unreasonable, then the right has been violated. That is how to administer the Fourth Amendment.Fourth Amendment cases, including those dealing with communications and digital materials. There are direct parallels between protected communications technologies used at the time of the Framing and today’s. Applying the words of the Fourth Amendment, background legal principles, and an understanding of technology, it is possible to administer the Fourth Amendment in all cases without artifice.

Was there a seizure - The Supreme Court has rarely defined “seizure” distinctly from “search.”This is in part because small seizures are often the means by which government agents reveal the information they seek. Seizures are constituents of an overall search. Whether or not there is any searching, though, a seizure exists whenever government agents infringe a property right,including the property right people have in their own persons. Seizures and searches are not the same, and they do not always occur together, government agents seized a mobile home—literally helped take it from its owner—making no search of it.

Was there a search - Seizing and searching are distinct activities, and the distinction matters in some cases. While “seizure” is based in legal conclusions about property rights, there is no common law of “search.” Natural language must guide whether looking (or other sensing) is so focused or directed that it crosses a threshold into the “search” category.

was there privicy - Protecting privacy requires understanding what privacy is, as well as the role of concealment in protecting it. The strongest sense of the word “privacy,” and the one relevant to Fourth Amendment administration, is enjoyment of control over personal information. People maintain privacy by exercising control over personal information as they see fit. Fourth Amendment requires it, giving individuals the same level of control over personal information today as they had at the time of the Framing is at least a meaningful and judicially administrable goal.
