Big G@@gle got fined!!!!87K!

[krluk]

Big G got himself a fine,87K for gathering illegal wi-fi data in France,when filming street view.Could this be the begging?Small fine,agree,but it s a start.

87K? what a joke...

can you post the source?

87k is to Google what a cup of coffee is to the average company. Big whoop.

 

[englandrm]

I wonder what the illegal wi-fi data was.

 

[krluk]

Today Sun,page 27.Not sure about the online version,but the paper one i just read now.

87k is nothing, don't know what's with the hype from the OP

 

[HoNeYBiRD]

i'm pretty sure i read 100k EUR somewhere yesterday, which is almost the double amount what OP wrote, but it's still nothing for Google

OP most likely meant 87k GBP

 

[Maruk]

87K in either GBP EUR or USD is aprox. the amount an used tissue from one of G's CEO's would get at auction.

 

[SOCOM]

Good. They're becoming too powerful.

I bet they are laughing as they sign the cheque

 

[mrcash]

oh big g..... someone should fine their ass 8700000k, they deserve it

 

[krluk]

Oh,not to mention that 2 weeks ago,i have just started to work with g@@gle uk!I m a driver and transport employees all around!
And they speak a lot in the car!About many interesting thinks!And my notebook is on the front seat,opened on BHW!
But some off them are indians and speak mixed english+indian,not too much to get from them!

Even if this just pocket change for Google, actually the fact itself is more important.

 

[eunicemartinez_21]

Yeah it is just a small amount for google but as just the OP said: "it's a start"

 

[blackma]

Then they try and make themselves come across as the moral guardians of the internet...

 

[wowhaxor]

I actually don't think they were intentionally doing anything wrong. They were the ones that disclosed to various govts. that they had picked up wifi data, it didn't come as the result of an investigation or anything.

Why are you talking about the company as if its a person

 

[fnd80]

there have been several isolated incidents of google getting fines here and there. this means nothing, and it's a "start" to nothing.
