Google Under Privacy Investigation in Missouri: Tech Had Better Worry



https://www.inc.com/erik-sherman/google-under-privacy-investigation-by-missouri-tech-had-better-worry.html


    The Missouri lawyer general's office is examining whether Google has crossed paths with customer security or antitrust laws in the state. Hawley's office said on Monday that it issued a subpoena to examine if Google's utilization of data that it gathers about consumers is fitting and if the organisation follows the regulations.

  • Just months after the EU fined Google $2.7 billion for antitrust activities regarding search results, Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley today announced an investigation into the company.
  • In 2010, for instance, the scandal was that the company recorded data from private Wi-Fi networks.
  • That has no effect in other countries, but is a reminder that tech firms can't do whatever they wish, citing the prevalent "ask forgiveness rather than permission" philosophy. 
  • The reported FBI probe into potential computer crimes by Uber against rival Lyft isn't over, and no one yet knows where that will go.
In this digital age and era privacy is very esstentional to the norm of everyday life. If those privacy requirements are violated the general population would usually go against the organisations. in this case its Google.
