Google had been sued by various plaintiffs who sought to hold it accountable under the Wiretap Act for having intercepted data from private Wi-Fi networks to create Street View. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Google's data collection did not fall within an exception to that law, saying Wi-Fi communications were not electronic communications that were "readily accessible to the general public." Tuesday's decision upheld a June 2011 ruling by U.S. District Judge James Ware in San Francisco. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
