According to a latest update, the search giant Google has been fined $25,000 for hampering a US investigation into the Web search leader's data collection for its Street View project. The Street View project Street View, which was launched in 2006, allows users to see panoramic street level images  and take a virtual "walk when they map a location. 

It is reportedly said, Google has collected data from Wi-Fi networks throughout the United States and across the world as part of its Street View project between May 2007 and May 2010. It is believed; Google collected user’s personal information without permission.

Trusted sources informed, the Federal Communications Commission has imposed the fine on the search giant.

The company could not supply compliant declarations without identifying employees it preferred not to identify.
