That's dedication. How did Amazon not cut them off before they racked up 1.2 million? You'd think red flags would be going off around 10k+ in such a short period. Quick math says they were claiming 50k/month if it was spread evenly over the two years.

But Google mounted a late effort against the bill, with the Internet behemoth opposed to any government oversight over how it regulates content.
The Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that cell phone location data is protected by the Fourth Amendment.
