      9th amendment.

      It’s the best amendment, despite being, legally, the most useless.

      I would argue that it was meant to cover the kind of situation where a private company is given government permission to gather surveillance data from the citizenry, in exchange for access to said data.

      yep, flock exists purely to get around the 4th amendment and the requirement to have a warrant.

      People are downvoting you, but you’re right. It’s one of the reasons why the constitution is weak in the modern era, and in need of massive additions. It just is too vague, too geared towards a world that no longer exists, and hasn’t existed for over 70 years.
