Google Balks at Turning over Private Internet Data to Regulators
Google has balked at requests from regulators to surrender Internet data and fragments of e-mail messages that it collected from unsecured home wireless networks, saying it needed time to resolve legal issues.
The company implied that German privacy laws are preventing them from turning over the information, even to the government agency. “As granting access to payload data creates legal challenges in Germany, which we need to review, we are continuing to discuss the appropriate legal and logistical process for making the data available”, Peter Barron, a Google spokesman said in a statement in London.
Proving that the driver of Street View recording had such knowledge and intent may be difficult this time.
