Judge mostly tosses privacy case over LinkedIn’s Insight Tag
A federal judge dismissed most of a privacy lawsuit against LinkedIn over its Insight Tag feature, which users claimed collected sensitive medical data without consent. The judge left one claim alleging intrusion on seclusion, noting LinkedIn's tracking technology likely captured health information despite disclosures. Plaintiffs argued the feature monetized intercepted data via targeted ads.
