X requests the US Supreme Court to prevent law enforcement agencies from forcing companies to hand over user financial data

On April 2nd, according to The Block, Elon Musk's social media platform X has filed a request with the US Supreme Court to prevent law enforcement agencies from forcing companies (such as cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase) to hand over users' financial data. In a friend of the court opinion submitted to the Supreme Court last Friday, X Corp. stated that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had obtained Coinbase's three-year trading records through subpoenas without a search warrant, involving over 14000 customers of the exchange, including the trading records of petitioner James Harper. Social media giant X, along with seven other research institutions and advocacy organizations, has jointly questioned the use of so-called 'suspectionless subpoenas', arguing that such demands violate users' privacy rights. X Company claims that the US Internal Revenue Service "obtained a large number of Coinbase user records through mass subpoenas without specific suspicion," thereby violating Harper's Fourth Amendment rights to the US Constitution.
