100K euros is nothing to Google.
Gotdamned Street View camera car drove by me last week and I threw it the bird once I saw it coming. Will be interesting to see what they do with that.
Google Fined 100,00 Euros By French Privacy Regulator
Mar 21, 2011 at 9:23am ET by Greg Sterling
According to wire service AFP, France’s data privacy regulator has imposed a EUR 100,000 ($142,000) fine to punish Google for collecting private WiFi data via Street View in France. Google immediately acknowledged the data collection but said it was unintentional and pledged to destroy all private information collected. “We screwed up,” Google co-founder Sergey Brin said at the time.
According to the AFP article:
CNIL, the National Commission for Information Freedom, said Google had pledged to erase all the private data, but that it had found “that Google has not refrained from using the data identifying Wi-Fi access points of individuals without their knowledge.”Google has faced legal actions and potential fines across Europe and elsewhere from alleged privacy violations by Street View photography.
