Street View snooping sparks new watchdog site

For instance the row over Google's Street View cars has left many questions unanswered. These include: "Why was Google developing code to sniff such data?", "How was it possible to integrate such code into software which was not designed to deal with such data?", and "How come no-one noticed the massive pile of data which must have resulted from using the software?"
The site, which you can find at http://boxcrack.net/ (sorry about the Flash animation), also aims to be a whistleblower resource - the site includes information on how to contact the site safely. ®
