10:28 I google again trouble with the law on personal data and the European legislator | |
| Does not end with the epic corporation Google, which is sort of like accidentally, but have collected a lot of your personal information through its avtomobilchiki, photograph the street and people for the project Google Street View. With the map data into the hands of corporations got a lot of data, which, as it turned out, was collected over several months, and collected was about 6 terabytes of data. Can you imagine the scale. In Canada, first noticed that Google collects this data and immediately began proceedings. Google was forced to admit his guilt, although at first as something not recognized, and Canada did not insist on the trial. But now, except Canada, to analyze the situation and joined in other countries. Today the British government announced that it starts its own investigation because of Google has been admitted several violations of the Data Protection Act. True, the investigation in any case will end peacefully, as those same officials have promised not to penalize the company if it will sign an agreement which will promise never, never do so no longer. It is clear that Google will have to sign such documents. It is worth noting that last month, except Canada, the investigation began, Spain, later joined by other countries who have now analyzed this incident with the theft of personal data of users. In Europe, even going to review one of the most well-known laws - "the European Directive on Data Protection. This directive is already nearly 15 years, so review it really worth it. Google in the one hundred thousandth time said that the data were collected in error, and in general, all such data is very fragmented, plus encrypted in most cases. Nevertheless, the Commissioner is investigating the case further, trying to prevent a recurrence of this situation. Understandably, nobody wants to own credentials on the site with strawberry Postal Service got into the wrong hands. By the way, I wonder, what if this error allowed the corporation Microsoft? Somehow I think that European judges would have been far less sympathetic configured, and instead threaten a finger, shtrafanuli would melkomyagkih on such amount, that fact would have tugovat. What do you think? | |
