CONSUMER LAW GROUP has filed a Canadian class action lawsuit against Google, Inc. and Google Canada Corporation on behalf of individuals who use unsecured wireless networks and who have sent or received on their wireless internet connections any electronic data and communications from March 30th 2009 to May 7th 2010.
The class action involves the Google’s intentional [or the very least, grossly negligent] interception and acquisition through the public’s wireless internet connections “(WiFi connections”) of their personal and private information without permission or consent and in violation of their privacy rights.
Google also misrepresented the nature of its Google Street View service (“GSV”). While Google told the general public that it was collecting and displaying images only, in fact, it was also secretly gathering personal data and information received and sent over privately owned, individual WiFi connections.
