A £3 billion ($4 billion) legal action against Google over claims it secretly tracked millions of iPhone users’ internet activity has been blocked by the UK Supreme Court.

Former Which? director Richard Lloyd, supported by the campaign group Google You Owe Us, wanted to bring a “representative action” against the U.S.-based tech giant on behalf of around 4.4 million people in England and Wales.
