Privacy Concerns Prompt Warning by UK MP of “Privatized Big Brother”
London, UK.
Conservative Member of Parliament Rob Halfon claims that the UK government is not doing enough to investigate privacy invasions by Internet companies. He warns that if government does not take more action to investigate Internet companies that are accused of privacy violations, the UK risks having a “privatized version of Big Brother”.
His comments come in the wake of concerns about Google’s StreetMap project that “inadvertently” mapped out the wifi spots of thousands of people.
