A judge in Seattle has dismissed a potential class-action lawsuit against Amazon alleging that the company circumvented the privacy settings of Internet Explorer users. In an opinion issued this week, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lasnik ruled that Nicole Del Vecchio and Ariana Del Vecchio “simply not plead adequate facts to establish any plausible harm.” Lasnik gave the Del Vecchios up to 30 days to revise their complaint, which accused Amazon of violating several laws including a federal computer fraud law and Washington state consumer protection law. The Del Vecchios' lawyer, Scott Kamber of New York, says he plans to file an amended complaint.
