The UK Information Commissioner’s Office is to investigate search giant Google over information it gathered from wi-fi networks via it’s Street View project, according to the BBC. No “significant” personal details were recorded at the time, but Google has since admitted that some emails and passwords were copied.
On its official Google blog, senior vice president Alan Eustace wrote that the company was “mortified” to discover, after the initial investigation in May, that personal information had been collected.What is clear through all of this is that there was no intent by Google to collect that data, and that it was done accidentally. It is also clear that the company has not used the data for any purposes, commercial or otherwise.Ed. 'Google were mortified fo discover.....' Pull the other one Google, you knew exactly what you were doing and you may not have used the info yet but you will do. Don't forget, from Google search, Chrome browsing, G-mail, G-mail contact lists, Android, maps, Google Docs, Google Checkout, etc., etc., Google know everything there is that's worth knowing about you. They know where you are in real time; who your friends are; what your interests are; the state of your finances.... need I go on. The worrying part is they have gone on record to say they will share their info with Government departments. That's why nothing will come of a Commissioner's Office inquiry. Governments want the info more than they want to protect civil liberties. Pattaya Rag
