UK privacy 'class action' complaint against Google gets unblocked

The UK Court of Appeal has unanimously overturned a block on a class-action style lawsuit brought on behalf of four million iPhone users against Google -- meaning the case can now proceed to be heard. The High Court tossed the suit a year ago on legal grounds. The case pertains to allegations Google used tracking cookies to override iPhone users' privacy settings in Apple's Safari browser between 2011 and 2012.
