Google Engineer Spied On Teen Users

bonch writes "Former Google employee David Barksdale accessed user accounts to spy on call logs, chat transcripts, contact lists. As a Site Reliability Engineer, Barksdale had access to the company's most sensitive information and even unblocked himself from a teen's buddy list. He met the minors through a Seattle technology group. Angry parents cut off contact with him and complained to Google, who quietly fired him."

Re:Luckily for David Barksdale, creepy kiddy stalk

No, I'd be willing to ruin David Barskdale, notorious kiddy stalker, based partly on the evidence in the various articles (which I took the time to find and read) but mostly based on the freaky pictures on his Facebook profile. Best case, he's a hippy, so deserves everything he gets.
