European privacy regulators might reopen their investigations into collection of personal e-mails and Web searches for its Street View service of internet giant, Google.

The decision to re-launch investigations comes after it was found that the error was not limited to a single programmer and others in the company were also told about the issue. Jacob Kohnstamm, a Dutch regulator, the chairman of the top European privacy panel, said that most regulators in Europe feel misled by the company. He has called for a strong global response to the issue.

Google executives have said assured lawmakers in Europe that data collection was unintentional and and the work of one engineer working secretly. Google had collected 600 gigabytes of personal data from Wi-Fi routers around the world. The mistake was first noticed in Germany in 2010 and it resulted in a series of inquiries by regulators from around the world.

Meanwhile, Google has disclosed that it is facing inquires by authorities in Argentina and South Korea amid a global scrutiny of the company’s competitive behavior and collection of private data. The announcement of the investigations has shown the company is increasingly facing investigations from authorities around the world including in its home country. In the US, the Federal Trade Commission is reviewing whether the company has abused its dominant position in the online search market.
