FTC: Investigating Google Street View is a “waste of summer”

Posted on January 20, 2011 by pogowasright.org

From EPIC.org:

In documents obtained by EPIC through a Freedom of Information Act request, a senior attorney with the Federal Trade Commission describes the Google WiFi investigation as a “wasted summer” and hopes that a Hill briefing on Google WiFi “won’t be too much of a time suck.” EPIC sought these documents after the FTC dropped its investigation of Google Streetview. Several countries, including the U.K., Germany, Spain, and Canada, have conducted similar investigations and determined that Google violated their privacy laws. In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission opened an investigation after EPIC filed a complaint, asking the Commission to investigate violations of US wiretap law and the Communications Act.
