Google on the Hot Seat
March 18, 2009
Google got some good news. President Obama’s chief technical officer was back on the job. The sudden step down was as surprising as the allegations against two of Vivek Kundra’s assistants. Mr. Kundra was, in my opinion, one of the supporters of Google-type thinking in information technology. You can read about the return of Mr. Kundra here. Now Telecommunications Online reported here that:
An online privacy group called on Tuesday for government regulators to investigate the adequacy of Google Inc’s security safeguards after the company inadvertently released consumers’ private information this month.
The FTC is now holding this fresh hot potato. Coincidences? I don’t think this is the case. Google is the lucky recipient of interesting attention.
