8 Most Controversial Google Products
#6 Google Street View
Google, in May 2010, admitted its Street View cars had mistakenly collected private information as they photographed homes and landmarks in U.K. And after nearly 2 years of their admitting the blunder and the U.K. law urging the search giant to delete the same, Google raked up the controversy again when in 2012 it was revealed that the personal data was not yet removed in Google Street View.
Google later told Information Commissioner's Office that human error prevented it from erasing the data, which could include the emails and passwords of millions of Britons.
Though it is not known exactly what private information was taken in the UK, but regulators in the US found traces of medical records and web browsing history among the so-called "payload" data.
