Google And The Capture Of Data Using Street View Cars

EDM number 883 in 2010-12, proposed by Robert Halfon on 25/10/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Internet and cybercrime.

That this House is deeply concerned at the statement of Alan Eustace, senior vice-president for engineering and research at Google, when he admitted that his company's Street View cars captured entire e-mails and URLs... as well as passwords; notes that Google has promised to make changes to internal compliance procedures; also notes, however, that in recent months there has been a series of invasions of personal privacy by the firm, which are beginning to look like a pattern; therefore welcomes the Backbench Business Committee debate into these matters on 28 October 2010; and calls on the Information Commissioner to be thorough and proactive in its inquiry.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
