Judges mull Google lawsuit

2010-07-30 10:49

Boise - A panel of federal judges is deciding where to consolidate several lawsuits against Google Inc alleging the company violated wiretapping laws.

At least nine lawsuits have been filed in the US so far contending that Google collected fragments of emails, web surfing data and other online information from unencrypted wireless networks as it photographed neighbourhoods for its Street View Google Maps feature.

Google is also facing investigations or inquiries in 38 states as well as in several countries, including Germany, Spain and Australia.

The Mountain View, California, company said in May it inadvertently collected the data from public Wi-Fi networks in more than 30 countries, but it maintains it never used the data and it hasn't broken any laws.
