The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected Google's bid to dismiss a lawsuit accusing it of violating federal wiretap law when it accidentally collected emails and other personal data while building its popular Street View program.
The justices left intact a September 2013 ruling by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which refused to exempt Google from liability under the federal Wiretap Act for having inadvertently intercepted emails, user names, passwords and other data from private Wi-Fi networks while creating Street View, which provides photographs of city streets and private property.
The lawsuit arose soon after the Mountain View, California-based company publicly apologised in May 2010 for having collected fragments of "payload data" from unsecured wireless networks in more than 30 countries. The French government later said it had claimed data back from Google - including emails,browsing history and banking details.
