A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) report said that the Google engineer who created a program to collect personal data from people’s home wireless networks told at least two other company employees.
The FCC released a heavily redacted version of the report April 13. Google later released the report with only names and telephone numbers blacked out, Reuters reported.
Google Street View was created in 2006 and is one of the most popular features provided by the company. It allows users to see the ground view of streets in many areas with road-access around the world.
