Google and the city of Los Angeles are having a bit of a spat. Thankfully this is now a public spat so we can all grab the popcorn and watch. ;)

“It’s been two years and Google has still not met the security requirements and the city knows this and yet Google goes around the country and world suggesting that it’s experience is one of its greatest success stories,” said John Simpson, director of Consumerwatchdog.org’s privacy project.

“This is just the latest in a long list of press stunts from a group that admits to working closely with our competitors. We are meeting our commitments to the City of Los Angeles. Indeed, the City recently renewed their Google Apps contract for 17,000 employees, and the project is expected to save Los Angeles taxpayers millions of dollars.

The City has acknowledged Google Apps is more secure than its current system. Along the way they’ve also introduced new requirements which require work to implement in a cloud computing environment, and we’ve presented a plan to meet them at no additional cost.”

I can see that the Google spokesman is well trained in political debate. First smear the person/group. Second, put up something that does not address the content of the surfaced letter. What i would like to know is whether Google is really footing the bill for Novell Groupwise till November 2012.
