According to the information obtained from the newspaper "Washington Post", Google employees abused their privileges to monitor other employees. The newspaper cited internal company documents, which state that in 2018, several Google employees were fired after it became clear that they had misused access to other employees' personal information.
One of the cases described in the documents involves a mechanic who allegedly used internal tools to monitor another employee's phone. Such incidents prompted the company to tighten its policy on access to personal data of employees.
Information security specialists expressed concern about such incidents, considering them a serious violation of confidentiality and a threat to employees' personal safety. Google representatives noted that the company takes measures to protect employees' information and actively investigates similar cases of confidentiality breaches.
