Lawmakers Want Google CEO to Answer Questions About 'Sensorvault'

The top Democrats and Republicans on the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai raising concerns about reports of a massive database of precise consumer location information on hundreds of millions of consumers known as “Sensorvault.” The letter seeks a briefing and answers on how this information is used and shared, citing a New York Times report that the database includes nearly every consumer with an Android mobile device, in some cases storing information dating back to 2009.
