Wow; Google was fined a ‘whopping’ $25,000 for violating privacy laws regarding their Street View data collection… just another example of a High Tech firm essentially ‘paying for the cost doing business’ by how they ‘handle’ your data. In other words, this is one in a growing list of firms that have been accused of questionable practices for how they’re handling any given end-user’s information (mostly for the own aims / gains).
When data equals profit(s) would one expect anything less?
