Google was aware of glitch when it refused to attend hearing on data protection
WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) called on Google to explain what steps it is taking to protect the personal information of its platform users...
following revelations that glitches exposing personal information on the social platform Google+ went unaddressed for three years.

In a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Grassley noted that, according to news reports, Google was aware of the glitch in March.
Around that same time, Grassley invited representatives from Google and Twitter to join Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at an April 10 hearing on consumer data privacy on social media platforms.
Google declined to participate, claiming that it didn’t have the same data privacy issues as Facebook. Google later provided information on how users and third party developers can control and access data.
“Despite your contention that Google did not have the same data protection failures as Facebook, it appears from recent reports that Google+ had an almost identical feature to Facebook,
which allowed third party developers to access information from users as well as private information of those users’ connections.
Moreover, it appears that you were aware of this issue at the time I invited you to participate in the hearing and sent you the letter regarding Google’s policies,” Grassley wrote.
In the letter, Grassley requested details on actions Google has taken to ensure that user data was not improperly used by or transferred to third parties.
In addition, Grassley asked why it took so long for Google to identify the glitch and why the company chose not to disclose it to users or Congress.

Full text of Grassley’s letter to Google follows:

Today, I have signed into law S. 3191, the “Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act of 2018” (the “Act”). The Act provides for the review and, where possible, the release of records of criminal investigations relating to alleged Federal civil rights violations between..
1940 and 1980 (“cold case records”). These records, however, include information in the possession of any branch of the Government and could encompass even recently created records that “relate to” alleged civil rights violations from that period.

Google discovered a software bug that exposed private data on hundreds of thousands of users, and decided not to inform the public. Here’s our story:
on.wsj.com/2ON4dsq

Several questions are still unanswered...
How many people did this impact?

Google investigators ran tests over 2 weeks and found up to 496,951 users could be affected. However, that was just 2 weeks. The bug went unfixed for over 2 years. Over the full period, the actual number of affected users could be much higher.
Why won’t Google tell individuals if their personal data was at risk?

Because Google kept limited activity logs, it couldn’t determine which users may have actually had data taken. But it’s unclear why Google refuses to notify the 496,951 users they believe were at risk.

It's easier for people to follow.

PACER records are primary sources, these are secondary, regardless of being MSM or other media.

Red flags:

>One of them is based on the other one.

>That one is based on the Q spreadsheets that I don't consider reliable evidence & asked you not to offer as such.
@fortitude253 @MEBier1 @KLVG @steph93065 @murphtoday @Came2BelieveHim @j_garavee @_ImperatorRex_ @tgdesrosier @Wayne34765311 @mgr842day @KandissM1 @ThomasWictor @Headsnipe011 @drawandstrike @HNIJohnMiller @CatesDuane @rising_serpent @Debradelai @TheChiIIum (2) You said these articles were the best you could do with short notice.

I actually don't mind if you take a day or two to come back to me with one good piece of evidence that you believe supports your claim that there are "45,000 unsealed indictments."

#Google takes the blame for #Aadhaar #UIDAI fiasco, while @UIDAI acts innocent! #UIDAImystery @google gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/u…
. @UIDAI claimed that 'It is clarified that, #UIDAI has not asked or communicated to any manufacturer or service provider for providing any such facility whatsoever'
#Google has assured its fix in the next few weeks! If you are wondering how #iPhone users reported the no. showing up in their contacts, it's likely coz they synced their contacts with a #Gmail account that already had the said contact added to its list #UIDAImystery

FBI provided a further un-redacted version of the Steele referral memorandum drafted by Grassley & Graham asking whether Steele misrepresented the facts to the FBI and whether the FBI inaccurately reported the facts to the court. grassley.senate.gov/sites/default/…
On October 21, 2016, the FBI filed its first warrant application under FISA for Carter Page. The bulk of the application consists of allegations against Page that were disclosed to the FBI by Steele and are also outlined in the Steele dossier.
