U.K. Supreme Court blocks $4.3B class action lawsuit filed against technology giant Google. Lawsuit alleges Google accessed millions of iPhone users’ personal data illegally between June 1, 2011, and Feb. 15, 2012. Plaintiff Richard Lloyd, a former director of the nonprofit consumer group called Which? filed the suit in 2017. A ruling favoring the claimants would have forced the tech giant to pay out to 4.4 million people who used iPhones between 2011-2012 in England and Wales. Google says compensation for a nontrivial breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 can be made only if the data subject has suffered some form of material damage.”]
