The wording of this is really pushing the boundary of plausibility.
I fail to understand the logic of how this would protect privacy? Access logs with no profile data logged would not compromise privacy would it?
Can anyone confirm the timing of the google blog post? It seems the WSJ article was posted at a similar time.
This leads me to believe that the most likely reason we are hearing about this now is due to comment requests from the WSJ. WHEN Goog realised it was out they published.
Goog is trying to avoid using the words Data breach as they may get into hot water in EU.
Love how it is buried in the article.
My guess is a similar thing has been happening with android permissions. Data has been leaking through that they have just not admitted to it.
