The Supreme Court refused to hear a case concerning Constitutional Privacy Rights for people who’ve been arrested. Specifically the ability of police to search your cell phone for info.
By refusing to hear the case, the Supreme Court essentially upheld a lower court’s ruling that no search warrant is needed to search your personal belongings once you’ve been arrested.

German officials, in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, have discovered that every time the Facebook ‘like’ button is clicked, it sends your private info back to several U.S. databases. This violates European privacy laws.
Website owners are ordered to remove ‘like’ buttons, and other similar buttons, from their websites, or face a U.S.$72,000 fine.
