Switzerland takes Google to court
Found on BBC News on Thursday, 12 November 2009
Google said it was disappointed by the move. The firm says it is convinced that Swiss View is legal in Switzerland and will "vigorously contest" the case.
Mr Thuer is especially concerned about people shown in sensitive locations such as hospitals, prisons or schools.
He also said that the height of the camera was problematic because it allowed a view over fences, hedges and walls, meaning that more could be seen from Street View than by a normal passer-by.
Of course Google thinks it's legal. Luckily, this means nothing. It's something about privacy and private property; something Google never understood.
