Google Street View being driven out of Europe

This week, Google is planning to begin the process of photographing various parts of the UK for its service Street View, but the British group for the protection of privacy has already made ​​preliminary preparations for war, claiming that they are prepared to sue the Commissioner for information, reports The Inquirer.

Street View, certainly good, it's actually the first service, which made ​​it possible to ' digitize ' the streets at the level of human eyes, and besides, and a panorama of 360 degrees gives the most complete picture of the terrain. However, the service has already caused a lot of criticism in the U.S., after there were people who found themselves on the pictures to make the car Google. Really frustrating when you know that family and friends can find your photo, which you defecate on the side of the highway, topless sunbathing, or simply go out and strip bars.

Representatives of the British organization for the protection of privacy (BPI) believe that the actions of Google at least break the law on data protection. Simon Davies, a representative of one of these associations said: ...

By a representative of Google, it is said that it is impossible to obtain the consent of everyone who is present at their pictures and offered technology ' blurring ', the system itself determines the location of human faces in images and blurs the image. But recall that this solution can not be considered reliable, because the technology Google manages to mix horses with people.

This is known British human rights activists, who remind us that before Google gave a beautiful promise, which related to privacy. What can I say about the protection of user data, even if these employees the company has managed to lose. You can also recall the promises of technology development ' reset cookies' when buying Doubleclick. The deal was held for a year, but we have not seen any action on the part of the search giant.

Either way, the confrontation between the activists of the BPI and Google promises to be interesting. Anyway, European human rights activists and lawmakers have often successfully ' put in place ' conceited Internet giants, recently it on your own skin felt Microsoft.
