Internet Censorship: Google's privacy changes fall short, France says
Google's changes to its privacy policy don't meet European data-protection standards, France's National Commission for Computing and Civil Liberties said after a preliminary analysis.
European data-protection authorities "are deeply concerned about the combination of personal data across services," Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, CNIL's chairwoman, said in a letter to Google posted on the agency's website. "They have strong doubts about the lawfulness and fairness of such processing, and about its compliance with" regional rules.
