Justice Department Clears Google In Wi-Fi Sniffing Scandal
http://j.mp/IFc7ec (Wired)
"The Justice Department has cleared Google of wiretapping violations in
connection to the company secretly intercepting Americans' data on
unencrypted Wi-Fi routers for two years ending in 2010, Google said.
"The DOJ had access to Google employees, reviewed the key documents,
and concluded that it would not pursue a case for violation of the
Wiretap Act," Google wrote in a Thursday filing (.pdf) with the
Federal Communications Commission. The Justice Department declined
comment. If true, the development means that at least three
government agencies - the FCC, Federal Trade Commission and the
Justice Department found Google committed no wrongdoing in the
so-called Street View debacle."
