Swiss privacy commissioner miffed, taking Google to court
Loved by many, Google’s Street View feature remains controversial among users and consumer groups who are concerned about privacy. The latest uproar comes from Switzerland’s Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), which claims Google hasn’t taken sufficient measures to protect citizens’ privacy and is now threatening to take the company to federal court. The Swiss Privacy Commissioner, Hanspeter Thür, has been on Google’s back over Street View since August of this year (when the feature began to be implemented there).
