Google didn’t delete all Street View Wi-Fi data | News | PC Pro
Google is in more trouble over the Street View Wi-Fi data slurping incident. Two years ago Google admitted it had collected snippets of personal datawhile sniffing for Wi-Fi connections. The UK’s data watchdog, the ICO, didn’t fine Google, but did demand it delete the collected data. Following the FCC’s investigation, the ICO double-checked with Google that the data was deleted, receiving confirmation that it had. Except… it hadn’t all been deleted, Google has now admitted. That breaches the deal between the ICO and Google, and the watchdog has said it’s in talks with other regulators about what to do next.
Why does Google have such a hard time with privacy?!
