Google even tapped e-mails?

The US government has closed the investigation into Google's street view cars accessing of private information via wi-fi snooping.
The UK and US States are still looking into whether or not they will charge Google with any wrongdoing for not having consumer protections built into their company policies.
Google somehow accessed personal e-mails as well as passwords form people's wireless networks that were not sufficiently protected.

If Google were not the darling of the left, would they be treated so lightly for this intrusive behavior?

Now they are worried about Google?

Many of us became worried when we learned of Google's "street view" intrusions into private property.
More worry developed when we learned that they were surveying wi-fi spots as well.
There were a lot of folks not that concerned because Google is left leaning, therefore benevolent by default.

Then came the discovery that Google had links to Government intelligence and that "secret" meetings had been held between Google and Government folks concerning the data take from their surveillance.
Another interesting and unsettling find was that, despite Google's insistence that wi-fi spying was an inadvertent bit of code, Google sought to patent the software.
Now a group calling itself Consumer Watchdog is up in arms and wants to know who is involved, who met whom, where and when.

When they came for the wi-fi, I said nothing...
Maybe they should spy on Google.
