The Federal Communications Commission late Friday proposed slapping Google with a $25,000 fine for impeding the commission’s investigation into whether the data it collected from consumers via its Street Views product violated the Communications Act.

Between 2007 and 2010, Google’s Street Views product downloaded personal WiFi network information without permission.
