Google has escaped a fine for collecting personal data - including email addresses and passwords - being used in UK public Wi-Fi spots. Despite labelling the act as a "significant breach" of the Data Protection Act that was "not fair or lawful," the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), has simply requested that Google delete the offending data and given the search giant nine months to review its privacy practices. The general consensus is that the ICO has been very lenient over this - its probe has been labelled "lily-livered" by Tory Member of Parliament (MP) Robert Halfon.
