Attorney General (and senator-elect) Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is taking legal action to force Google to turn over consumers' data it says it inadvertently collected while operating its Street View service. The legal action is in the form of a "civil investigative demand," essentially a subpoena. Google has allowed international regulators to review the data, which includes passwords and entire e-mails. But Google has refused to allow AG Blumenthal to review it.
