Google fined $25000 for street data collection


Google Inc has been fined $25,000 for impeding a US investigation into the Web search leader's data collection for its Street View project, which allows users to see street level images when they map a location.

The Federal Communications Commission imposed the fine late on Friday, saying Google had collected personal Information without permission and had then deliberately not cooperated with the FCC's investigation.

"Google refused to identify any employees or produce any e-mails. The company could not supply compliant declarations without identifying employees it preferred not to identify," according to an FCC order dated April 13
