Page "Internet privacy" Paragraph 30

Google has long been attacked for their lack of privacy in the U. S. as well as abroad.

In 2007, however, the tables began to turn.

Peter Fleischer, a Google representative, addressed the U. N. in France regarding privacy issues and expressed that the current international privacy policies were not adequately protecting consumers.

Instead of continuing to enforce broken and ineffective Internet privacy laws, the Google representative proposed that the United Nations establish a global privacy policy that would efficiently protect consumers privacy while causing the least possible amount of negative impact on web browsers such as Google.

At that time, Google was under investigation by the European Union for violating the global privacy policies that were already in place.
