The Federal Trade Commission is giving Google a symbolic slap on the wrist but no formal punishment after the company invaded people’s privacy.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who is running for U.S. Senate, is leading a coalition of states in their own investigation of Google.
The FTC sent Google a letter scolding the Internet giant for collecting e-mails, passwords and other personal information while creating its Street View mapping service.
Blumenthal said the investigation is ongoing.
