Mimes who pretended to gather strangers’ personal information and free ice cream were part of a consumer group's message Wednesday that Google has too much information about its users.
“Google has a monopoly over our information and how we use it,” John Simpson, Consumer Watchdog’s privacy project director, said. “You should be in control of your own personal data.”
The group has released three videos recently depicting an animated Schmidt handing out free ice cream wearing “Wi-Spy” glasses.
The glasses are an allusion to Google Street View Cars that were collecting data from unsecured wireless networks as they took street view images.
