A lawsuit filed against Google by consumers who claimed the search engine's photo sharing and storage service violated their privacy was dismissed by a US judge who cited a lack of "concrete injuries".

US District Judge Edmond Chang in Chicago granted a Google motion for summary judgment, saying the court lacked "subject matter jurisdiction because plaintiffs have not suffered concrete injuries".
