| It was wrong to intercept people's communications Google and everyone else agree that it was a mistake, and that Google should delete the data. I think that public facing information is OK, like SSID and MAC address,
What do "privacy advocates" expect further investigation to uncover? If their goal is to force Google to delete private information, they're wasting their time, because Google is already doing that.
Verifying that Google do what they say they will do is OK, but it's a bit like verifying that Saddam Hussein has no WMDs. |

| If someone has an open Wi-Fi hotspot, they should have no expectation that information traversing that hotspot is kept private.
After all, Windows warns you when you connect to an open hotspot that your communications are not private.
I have a couple of neighbors with open Wi-Fi. I use them sometimes for testing access from outside my home network. I even upgraded their router for them with a new firmware download, because of some issues I was having doing my test. Yes it was that wide open -- no admin password.
People this clueless have no reason to complain. |
