NEW YORK — DoubleClick Inc. said a U.S. District judge dismissed all federal and state privacy lawsuits filed against the online-advertising company.
The suits alleged that DoubleClick’s ad-delivery practices violated three federal statutes: the Electronic Privacy Act, the Wiretap Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The company said Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald concluded that the plaintiffs failed to plead violations of any of the three federal statutes under which they brought suit.
The court also found an absence of evidence in legislative and judicial history to suggest that Congress intended to prohibit the type of business practices employed by DoubleClick.
