said by jgkolt:

so they accidentally caught the mac id and ssid of open wireless routers that are broadcasting. This is something anyone can do legally. I don't see a credible reason to be this rough on them
Actually, according to press reports, they captured PAYLOAD DATA. Meaning the actually captured packets containing data such as email, web traffic, etc.

There is nothing wrong with collecting payload data. It is broadcasted in public. If the wifi owner did not want anyone to read the data they would encrypt it.

Google did nothing wrong and this german prime minister is the prime minister of retards.
