Frustrated regulators cite Google's slow response to FCC request for
information into company's data collection practices.
.
Frustrated by Google's slow response, the Federal Communications
Commission slapped a $25,000 fine on the company, alleging that the Web
giant "deliberately impeded and delayed" its probe into the policies
governing the StreetView street-mapping service.
.
The government started its investigation a couple of years ago after
Google was found to have collected and stored payload data from
unencrypted wireless networks as part of a project where it Wi-Fi-enabled
Street View cars got sent around the United States and Europe. At the
time, Google said this was inadvertent and that it was trying to compile a
list of Wi-Fi network hotspots as a way to enhance to geolocation services
on mobile devices through 'assisted-GPS.'
.
European regulators later forced Google to offer an opt-out service.
.
The heavily redacted statement (PDF) by the FCC painted Google as being
too busy to respond with alacrity to its request for information and
suggested more than slight frustration.
.
"Although a world leader in digital search capability, Google took the
position that searching its employees' e-mail 'would be a time-consuming
and burdensome task,'" the report said. It also said that Google refused
to release the names of the individuals responsible for the program.
.
Google's response to the inquiry was to provide just five documents and no
emails, according to the FCC. It said that Google redacted the names of
engineers whose names appeared on the submitted documents because doing so
"at this stage serves no useful purpose with respect to whether the facts
and circumstances give rise to a violation" of the law.
.
Google later offered up more information after a subsequent demand for
more information about its privacy policy, but the FCC still found its
response wanting.
