Google Street View again criticized

Google Street View again criticizedThe Google Street View, which comes to life gradually all around the world, continues to wipe the critics. The giant research proposes through this service to walk in the streets of a city selection through panoramic photographs. In France you can already see virtually the entire course of the Tour de France. Although most faces and registration plates are already hidden, the CNIL has already reacted, calling on the part of Google that its users are clearly informed of their rights. A form for reporting non-compliant cliches is available to users of the service, but the measure is judged insufficient by the French Committee. Following this case and many others in the USA is now the turn of Privacy International to denounce the service. The organization believes that British publishing for commercial purposes photographs which appear on passers, Google does not respect the laws on the protection of privacy. In a case the opponent to a U.S. couple, Google said that “the total respect of privacy did not exist in this world, except in the desert, and that unless you are a hermit , Everyone should expect to face such incidents in normal community life in which we live. “This has been recently responded lawyers Google to the complaint made by the couple whose house was found on Street View, likely photographed from a driveway. The giant research regrets that complaints are made with the authorities rather than through its form and said he withdrew the images of the house in question from the filing of the complaint.
