What do you think?

Not really bothered. What are they gonna do with it?

I don't have an issue with it. Google came out and admitted their mistakes and apologised as they didn't seem to know about it. (I believe)

I doubt Google would ever do such things!

They can't really do anything with the info anyway. There's nothing to worry about.

This is such old news, it's not going to be used for anything and they've apologized.

And what? It's public information.

Old news is old. If people are stupid enough to leave their wifi unencrypted they deserve whatever they have coming to them.
