Google WiFi Issue Has Legs
August 5, 2010
The cars used to gather the Street View pictures may be gathering some of your private Wi-Fi network information, and a majority of Americans are concerned. In ‘Google Wi-Fi Scandal Concerns Most Americans,’ Webpronews.com recently reported that in a poll from Consumer Watchdog, 74 percent of Americans view Google favorably, but 65 percent say the Wi-Fi scandal is one of the things that “worries them most” or a “great deal” while another 20 percent saying it “raises some concern” when considering online issues. Google is cooperating with the National Security Agency without saying what information is being shared, and that’s causing an uproar from consumer groups who are eying voter ballot initiatives if Congress and state houses don’t act, says Consumer Watchdog advocate John M. Simpson.
