Gmail Privacy Cases Denied Class-Status

I thought this article was an interesting combination of the things we've covered in this class and also Civil Procedure:
Article
A federal judge denied a request to combine several privacy complaints into a single class-action lawsuit on behalf of hundreds of millions of people who have used the popular Gmail service. The lawsuits argue that Google violated privacy and wiretapping laws by scanning Gmail users' messages in order to show them advertisements. Attorneys made similar claims on behalf of non-Gmail users who sent messages to people with Gmail accounts, and on behalf of students at schools that use Gmail.
