Internet giant Google faces court action over Street View

Switzerland: The FDP (federal data protectio) commissioner, Hanspeter Thür, said on Friday he was bringing a case against Google at the Federal Administrative Court to force the company to make changes to the its application. He explained that Google had rejected many of the recommendations he made immediately after Street View went online in the middle of August. Faces and car registration plates were still not sufficiently blurred, and many pictures did not respect people’s private sphere, Thür said during a press conference in the Swiss capital, Bern.Google said it was disappointed by the move, and would fight the case “energetically”. It said the service was very popular in Switzerland.
