Nu geeft Google dus toe dat de auto's data stalen. Eerst dachten ze dat niemand zich druk zou maken in het euvel en was het plan de hele zaak te begraven. Dit kan natuurlijk niet volgens de Privacy commissie. Die zette Google onder druk en mét resultaat zo blijkt. Google doet er nu alles aan om het probleem op te lossen en alle illegaal verworven bestanden te verwijderen van hun harde schijven. En verontschuldigen zich voor het vergaren van die data in de eerste plaats.

Uit het Google blog halen we deze quotes:*
"It's clear from those inspections that while most of the data is fragmentary, in some instances entire emails and URLs were captured, as well as passwords."We want to delete this data as soon as possible, and I would like to apologize again for the fact that we collected it in the first place."*

*"As soon as we realised what had happened, we stopped collecting all wi-fi data from our Street View cars and immediately informed the authorities"

"This data has never been used in any Google product and was never intended to be used by Google in any way. We want to delete the data as soon as possible and will continue to work with the authorities to determine the best way forward."*
