While the uproar over Google’s updated privacy policy has lessened in the U.S., European officials are taking things a step further today. The European Commission has asked Google to delay implementing its new privacy policy so the matter can be fully investigated. The search giant has apparently been taken aback by the proposal.
The Commission is in the process of updating its rules on data protection, and that might account for the new-found interest in Google’s policy. According to Google’s Brussels spokesperson, Google briefed the Commission on the proposed change before it was even announced to the public. He went on toe say Google would be happy to talk things over with regulators if there are any new concerns, but he did not say Google would delay implementation of the new policy.
Google’s new privacy policy is essentially ‘one policy to rule them all.’ Over 60 individual privacy policies from various services are being rolled into one document that spells out what information Google can share internally between services. Do you think the European Commission is justified in asking for a delay?

Wow, your argument is so persuasive... I wonder if you could flesh it out a bit more with some facts. Any facts.

The EU is batshit crazy sometimes. No reason for this. The new privacy policy is fine.

I don't see what is so bad about Google's policy change that requires it be reviewed further. Unless someone can explain why.

Doesn't have to be bad....it's the EU. They are trying to figure out if there is some money to be made by sueing them for anything.
You know like giving away maps or something...
