SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Google Inc.'s South Korean offices were raided by police Tuesday, the latest headache for the company related to its gathering of personal data from wireless networks as part of its Street View mapping service, according to reports. The National Police Agency is investigating whether Google illegally collected private information while preparing for the South Korean launch of Street View, according to reports.
In the U.S., Google is faced with a probe by dozens of state attorneys general related to the data gathering, which the company has said was inadvertent. Google said Tuesday it will add the 20 largest German cities to Street View, which shows photography details of map locations, though residents can request having their houses or apartments made unrecognizable before their location is published.
