In a landmark decision, Judge John F. Murphy of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ruled that a proposed class action against Tower Health based in Pennsylvania was dismissed after plaintiffs Patrick Santoro and Jessica Landis failed to prove that the personal health information shared with Meta Platforms Inc. constituted a violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and common law.
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. Without meeting the necessary criteria to proceed with their claims, the lawsuit was ultimately dismissed by the court.
The dismissal of this case signifies an end to legal action taken against Tower Health in this matter. Despite allegations of privacy violations, it appears that there was not sufficient evidence presented to support these claims, resulting in a victory for Tower Health in this case.
