>After months of negotiation, Johannes Caspar, a German data protection official, forced Google to show him exactly what its Street View cars had been collecting from potentially millions of his fellow citizens. Snippets of e-mails, photographs, passwords, chat messages, postings on Web sites and social networks — all sorts of private Internet communications — were casually scooped up as the specially equipped cars photographed the world’s streets.

How does it feel knowing Google can just stroll through your front lawn stealing your data?

>When German regulators forced the company to admit that the cars were sweeping up unencrypted Internet data from wireless networks, the company blamed a programming mistake where an engineer’s experimental software was accidentally included in Street View.

It's too late for me, I've already been cached and monetized by the Social Network/Industrial Googleplex.

They already know everything about me based on my search history, likes, posts, and stealing cookies from my browsers.

Save yourselves, go offline, offgrid, offworld.

Implying ISP's aren't doing this already...

Remember Google are huge upstream providers, they own a large amount of the servers that the internet actually runs on, they don't even need to troll your wireless networks to know what you're doing.

No one goes inside your house, they just hear what you're shouting into the world if you don't encrypt your wifi. It's liek walking on teh streets and hearing conversations from other people.

Bad analogy. You'll hear people shouting whether you want to or not. You have to go out of your way to sniff packets not intended for you.
The former does not require intent, the latter does. And intent is very important in matters of law.

But encrypting is basic knowledge. You could argue that not encrypting your wifi implies that you want to have your connection and data available for others to use. When you leave your door open people still need to trespass to go inside your house and therefore breaking the law. By using a non encrypted wifi you do not break any laws (at least in my country, I wouldn't know about the USA).

yfw they will loudly proclaim they are fighting big brother Google for the public good then when the story dies out just fine them €50. This is nothing more than a power trip by a euro bureaucrat that want to rise in the ladder of power. No one in the public will benefit by it. In fact after all the noise the punishment will be so asinine that more serious breaches will happen in the future.
