Google eventually fined $ 25,000 by the telecommunications regulatory commission in U.S. (Federal Communications Commission / FCC) as deemed to impede the investigation into alleged theft of community data. Data retrieval is done illegally by Google Street View car when crossing areas of residential and business offices that have an open WiFi access networks.
Google Street View car itself is designed to take photographs of existing road around the world for Google Maps database. Well, other than take photographs from town to town, Google also collects other confidential information. As quoted from the Washington Post, Tuesday (17/04/2012), Google copy valuable data that was encrypted, from email, text messages, to search list what is done by local people.
The case has been ongoing since January 2008 until April 2010. This case was rebuffed by Google as accidental occurrence. This search engine giant feel that they didn't do something wrong in the eyes of law.
Google engineers are involved in this project also protected behind the fifth amendment in U.S. law regarding the right to remain silent when called upon by FCC.
Until now, the depth of any information that has been scraped out by Google from the local community is still not clear. FCC stated that Google reasons is only a trick to impede the investigation
"For months, Google deliberately obstruct and delay the investigation by not responding to requests for information materials and provide evidence and verification of the responses that we ask," FCC wrote in his case report.
Alleged data theft illegal practices is also a serious concern of the authorities in Canada and some countries in Europe, including France and the Netherlands. Google itself posted revenue of USD 37 billion in 2011 ago.
