Title: MP files motion against Google
Post by: Simon on Jun 29, 2010, 22:55:02
A Tory MP has tabled an early day motion asking for parliament to speak out about Google's collection of Wi-Fi data.

Google raised the ire of many European countries and US states after it admitted its Street View photography car had collected personal data as it scanned Wi-Fi connections.

The Information Commissioner's Office hasn't taken action other than to ask the data be deleted, but the Metropolitan Police is investigating a complaint filed by a privacy group.

Clearly they're on the ball. Nothing to do with the fact the more important nations that pack a punch, have already challenged them. If they had any clue and were monitoring the situation in the first place, they'd have done it before anyone else.

This government hasn't got a clue about technology it seems.

It's not Google we need to worry about. It's the other organizations who've been collecting this information in secret... :eek4: :D
