Now that the case is officially closed, Google&#8217;s been fined, and the FCC has moved on to other items, Google publicly released their report to the FCC and in their report, &#8220;Engineer Doe&#8221; had admitted to writing software specifically for collecting &#8220;payload data&#8221; (yeah, they were collecting private data). Even with that, apparently it wasn&#8217;t in violation of any illegal wiretapping laws according to the FCC.
