Yes folks, it’s true, the great God Google is fallible. The only problem being that they have seriously broken the law this time.

What really irritates me is that Sergey Brin is merely exercising in damage limitation. This would have come out sooner, rather then later, if Google hadn’t taken the step to admit it publicly, and things would have been a lot worse for the bastardscompany.

They say they’ll now delete all the data they collected. Right, who’s going to watch them do it?

This kind of thing is illegal, and anyone else doing it would face massive fines and a criminal record, within the UK, but because it’s Google, I’m betting they’ll get away with it.
