The French National Commission on Computing and Liberty is running up against what seems to be a chronic problem with Google: difficulty in getting all of the information it requested. The CNIL was tapped by Europe’s Article 29 Working Party to take the lead in analyzing Google’s new privacy policy, which went into affect on March 1.
