A federal judge sided with the Golden State Warriors last month, dismissing a lawsuit that claimed the basketball team’s official mobile application was unlawfully eavesdropping on fans.
In August, New York resident LaTisha Satchell alleged that Beacon technology utilized within Golden State’s mobile application accessed fan’s smartphones and recorded their conversations without consent. The application’s developer, YinzCam, and mobile technology company Signal360 were also named in the suit.
Federal Judge Jeffrey White dismissed all charges against the defendants, citing insufficient evidence that Satchell’s conversations were in fact intercepted or used by Golden State or the app’s developers, according to MediaPost.
