Bankruptcy Court Delays Google's Purchase of Spirit Airlines Data Over Privacy Concerns
Google's planned $10 million purchase of Spirit Airlines' digital data, including about 100 million emails and employee records, faces delays after former flight attendants objected in a US bankruptcy court. They raised concerns over potential privacy violations, urging protections for sensitive employee information. Google and Spirit Airlines stated that personal data would be deidentified and protected before transfer. The court postponed approval to September 9 to review these privacy concerns and safeguards.
