Police said they have charged global Internet giant Google Inc. Thursday for their online location tracking service over allegations it violated Internet privacy laws here.
According to the Cyber Terror Response Center, the National Police Agency’s Internet crime unit, the conglomerate’s “Street View” mapping service gathered private information from unencrypted wireless networks during the filming process, violating three communication laws here.
Of the 16 countries currently investigating Google’s Street View, South Korea is the first to charge the headquarters, officials said.
Google is suspected of traveling some 50,000 kilometers through the country using cars attached with special video-recording, information-collecting devices, not only taping streets and landscapes, but also gathering private information through unprotected Wi-Fi networks
