Google Releases Full Report of FCC Investigation Into Street View Probe, Finds That Senior Staff Knew

Posted on 29 April 2012

Earlier today Google released the full report of the FCC’s investigation into the collection of  “payload data” from open Wi-Fi networks — aka passwords, email and search history from open networks — that its fleet of Street View cars obtained between 2008 and April 2010 . An earlier and heavily redacted version of the report was released on April 15 but today’s version only redacted the names of individuals. Though the report found no violation of any wrong doing by the company, the FCC did fine Google $25,000 for obstructing the investigation , which was presumably the outcome of Google refusing to show the FCC what the data being collected entailed because it might have shown that the company broke privacy and wiretapping laws
