Well , it reckon like the lawsuit is finally being settled , and it ’s not just the masses who had their privacy stripped before their very eye that are benefitting — everyone get a piece of the pie ! Because in addition to being ticket $ 7 million ( the same amount literally burned every hebdomad after direction has their giant - kitty - of - money bath ) , Google is being force to instruct everyone about a little something they care to call “ passwords . ”

In ordination to forestall the damage done by the auto snooping on other the great unwashed ’s mesh — which they claimed was done under the instruction ofa rogue engineer — from ever chance again , Google ’s first step will be to start an annual “ concealment week case ” for its employees . Assumed activities will include games such as “ Should I Take a Picture of This Naked Woman , ” “ Should I Take a Picture of This Murder , ” and “ Should I pick up Private Data From This Civilian ’s Wi - Fi internet . ” In gain to this , the New York Times notes :

It also must make privateness authentication program available to pick out employees , provide refresher training for its lawyers manage new products and cultivate its employees who deal with privateness matters .
But it only contract better . Google ’s next task will be to help us , the people , learn how to protect our data from those scamp engineer of theirs with a YouTube video that explains how to practice “ passwords ” and “ cypher data point . ” Technically , nothing Google did was illegal , but they did admit a privacy encroachment . And for some people , patently , these TV will prove very necessary . But even if it does n’t drop in the first meter , they ’ll have plenty of opportunity to watch again — since Google will have to advance the video recording in a daily online ad for the next two years .
