Summary: Google doesn't have a lot of patience for European regulators who asked the search giant to "pause" the roll out of its new privacy policy, set to launch March 1, so they can explore "possible consequences."

Much like it's forthcoming slimmed down privacy policy, Google was just as succinct in brushing off European privacy regulators Monday.

The search giant Monday refused to cave into requests to delay its revamped privacy policy, slated to go live on March 1, in the face of EU regulators asking for more review time.
