FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
The FCC slapped Google with a $25,000 fine for violating wire-tapping laws by stealing private citizens personal data through their unmanned vehicles called “street view” cars.
Via WiFi networks, the unmanned cars were able to take data from people’s internet connections. This data was collected and filed. Its final destination is still under question as Google has refused to comply with investigations into the matter.
The FCC contends that Google did not violate the wiretapping laws. It seems to have ignored that a US federal court ruling stated that unencrypted WiFi data and communications are not protected under the wiretap Act. This is exactly what Google is accused of.
Eric Holder, Attorney General, received a letter from the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). They requested that the Department of Justice investigate the FCC’s slap on the wrist to Google, citing that this was “inadequate”. Google has been let go of their invasion of citizen’s privacy with too much leniency. EPIC sent copies of their letter to Congress as well.
Google “[delayed] its search for and production of responsive emails and other communications, by failing to identify employees, and by withholding verification of the completeness and accuracy of its submissions.”
The FCC used Google’s own statements, failing to review their contents for the data intercepted.
EPIC’s director, Marc Rotenberg stated:
“Much of the information uncovered by the FCC’s investigation was redacted, and Google’s obstruction prevented the agency from determining the merits of the underlying substantive issues: whether Google’s interception of Wi-Fi communications violated the Wiretap Act,” Rotenberg argued. “Finally, the FCC ignored legal precedent holding that the contents of unencrypted Wi-Fi networks were protected by the Wiretap Act.”
Ed Markey, Representative for Massachusetts agreed that Google received a “slap on the wrist” and that “Google’s Street View cars drove right over consumers’ personal privacy while cruising city streets and neighborhoods . . . I am concerned that more needs to be done to fully investigate the company’s understanding of what happened when consumer data was collected without their knowledge or permission.”
Senator Richard Blumenthal stated: “Google’s interception and collection of private wireless data potentially violates the Wiretap Act or other federal statutes, and I believe the Justice Department and state attorneys general should fully investigate this matter.”
Google has been cited in numerous other countries for this same violation.
