United States (AHN) – The Federal Communications Commission is investigating whether Google violated privacy laws with its Street View project.

FCC officials are concerned over the fact that Google’s Street View cars downloaded “payload data” from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks near its cars.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) filed a complaint in May asking the FCC to investigate whether Google violated federal laws against electronic snooping. Each violation carries a fine of $5,000.

Google has apologized for what it said was an unintentional harvesting of personal information from Internet networks, including passwords and emails. In addition, it has said it stopped the practice as soon as it realized what it was doing, notified the authorities and wants to delete the stored information as soon as possible.

Google said it only downloaded information from open Wi-Fi networks to better determine the locations its camera-equipped trucks were photographing.

Menlo Park, CA, United States (AHN) – Google is not letting a handset application that spies on someone’s text messages be sold at its Android App Store.

The Secret SMS Replicator developed by DLP Mobile to help lovers find out if their partners are cheating on them violates company policy, according to Google.

The app works by secretly duplicating incoming text messages and forwarding these to another mobile phone number. The app is invisible when installed so a cellular phone user will not know that his text messages are being received and read by someone else.

The Secret SMS Replicator was only 18 hours old on Google’s app store when the search engine giant decided to suspend its sale. The developer tried to defend it by saying it has a useful purpose to no avail.

DLP Mobile also tried to sell the app on Apple’s iPhone app store but was rejected.
