Recently, Google is investigating by the Federal Communications Commission due to the violation of Street View project. Google Street View is a project that uploads pictures and GPS address of the position through Wi-Fi collector and camera. FCC suspects Google Street View project has violated privacy law because the Wi-Fi collector can collect the Wi-Fi data of residents. Email content and password can be mistakenly collected since the network is unencrypted. Google proclaims that they will delete the data as soon as possible and apology proudly. I think FCC is doing right thing because for most of Wi-Fi users, we don’t have the skillful technique to operate the device. We don’t even know we are stole if FCC didn’t shows up. FCC is protecting our privacy and Google should show more response since it is the leader of network company.
I wasn't aware of this case and I find it very alarming!
