The proposed class action against Tower Health, based in Pennsylvania, was recently dismissed after plaintiffs Patrick Santoro and Jessica Landis failed to prove that the personal health information shared with Meta Platforms Inc. was sensitive enough to constitute a violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and common law. Judge John F. Murphy of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled that the plaintiffs did not provide sufficient evidence to support their claims, leading to the dismissal of the lawsuit without the opportunity to amend.
In their lawsuit, Santoro and Landis accused Tower Health of sharing their personal health information with Meta Platforms Inc., leading to claims of negligence, intrusion upon seclusion, and violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. However, Judge Murphy found that the information shared was not sensitive enough to warrant legal action.
Despite allegations of privacy violations, the court did not find sufficient evidence to support the claims brought forth by Santoro and Landis. As a result, Tower Health successfully defeated the proposed class action, with the court ruling in their favor.
The dismissal of the lawsuit without leave to amend signifies the end of
