Google's Collection Of Private Data Causes Anger In Europe.
The New York Times (5/15, O'Brien) reported on its webpage, "European privacy regulators and advocates reacted angrily Saturday to the disclosure by Google...that it had systematically collected private data since 2006 while compiling its Street View photo archive." Google was "being pressed by European officials about the kind of data the company compiled in creating the archive...and what it did with that information." The Times notes, "The data collection, which Google said was inadvertent and the result of a programming error, took place in all the countries where Street View has been catalogued, including the United States and parts of Europe. Google apologized and said it had not used the information, which it plans to delete in conjunction with regulators."
