Google Didn't Delete All Street View Wi-Fi Data

nk497 writes "Google is in more trouble over the Street View Wi-Fi data slurping incident. Two years ago Google admitted it had collected snippets of personal data while sniffing for Wi-Fi connections. The UK's data watchdog, the ICO, didn't fine Google, but did demand it delete the collected data. Following the FCC's investigation, the ICO double-checked with Google that the data was deleted, receiving confirmation that it had. Except... it hadn't all been deleted, Google has now admitted. That breaches the deal between the ICO and Google, and the watchdog has said it's in talks with other regulators about what to do next."

Google can have what ever stupid people decide to send out in the clear.
A bunch of haters bitching about Google recording them screaming aloud in public.
Fuck them. What Google should do is put out an Ad showing the data they get just by driving around then show how easy it is and tell people "We are keeping this data just like the thieves will do."
Fucking governments telling Google they have to delete publicly available, legally attained data.
And in this instance Fuck Google for rolling over on such a stupid fucking demand.
