Verizon , AT&T , T-Mobile, and T-Mo file new court briefs against FCC fines for selling user location data.

The fines relate to the 2018 revelation of real-time location data being shared.

Verizon says the fines violate their 7th Amendment right to a jury trial.

The FCC proposed the fines in 2020 , when the commission had a Republican majority.
