Google Inc. users were blocked from suing over alleged privacy violations by a judge who said they failed to show any of their information had been disclosed.

It was the fourth time U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal rejected the case. The complaint, filed and revised multiple times in San Jose, California, focused on an alleged plan to eliminate barriers between distinct Google services, resulting in the sharing of user data across the company’s platforms.
