Relying on their recent U.S. Supreme Court victory in a case involving the online search engine Spokeo Inc., a Mayer Brown team wants a federal judge in California to dismiss a class action that claims Facebook’s photo-recognition “tagging” feature violates an Illinois privacy law.

Robins, where the court returned a class action for additional scrutiny under a stricter definition of “injury.”
