Orin Kerr's analysis of this new ruling, which is linked from the Tech Crunch article, helps break down where the specific splits with other courts lie.

It’s interesting to note this decision in favor of privacy came from the 5th Circuit court, a predominantly conservative court. As the article notes, the 4th Circuit, made up largely of Democratic appointees, ruled in favor of the search warrants.
