Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has been critical of Google voice (NSDQ: GOUD) on privacy issues. Now that he is subject to represent his State Senate of United States, he said that he would take his crusade against Google Privacy to Capitol Hill.
In addition, it like Google is going to play the game. Blumenthal, who heads a coalition of Attorneys General, investigating violent privacy in Google's Street View, cars issued a statement today saying society research provide the data requested.
"I am disappointed by failure of Google to my inquiries," Blumenthal said in a news release today. "We will consider any information receive us and examine whether enforcement - including possible legal measures - measures are justified."
Blumenthal asked for data last week, saying that he wanted to verify the data so that it can verify it and assess a penalty.
A spokesman for Google address its reasons for refusing the request of Blumenthal. But she said Google is "deeply sorry" for mistakenly collected data will be deleted "as soon as possible." In the meantime, the company "will continue to work with authorities to determine the best path to follow, as well as to answer their questions and concerns."
Other members of the technology industry have accused Blumenthal to be a "grandstander" debate unnecessarily on technology companies known to win votes. In addition to his attacks on Google, Blumenthal has criticized the manufacturers of these games, as well as Craigslist, said facilitates prostitution.
Google used cars of similar uses to gather images for its Street View application map public hotspots Wi - Fi. These data provides the information needed for enterprise location services which are used in applications and smartphones. But last year, the company had a snafu privacy, in which cars have met the private data transmitted over the internet, Google has said was a mistake.
The Federal Trade Commission has opened an investigation into the matter briefly, but declined after finding that Google is committed to strengthening its personal information protection practices. But the Federal Communications Commission with State Attorneys General say that they are continuing to investigate the Google Street View data collection.
