Swiss privacy watchdog to sue Google Street View

GENEVA -- Google Inc.'s unstoppable drive to map and photograph the world has 
run into an immovable object - Switzerland's strict tradition of personal 
privacy.   

The country's privacy watchdog announced Friday that he plans to haul the 
search engine company before a federal court to force it to make changes to its 
Street View application.   

Google criticized the decision and said it would defend itself in the case.   

The service allows people to view street-level pictures over the Internet and 
already has been criticized in several European countries for allowing 
individuals to be identified without their knowledge or consent - potentially 
exposing embarrassing facts about their private lives to the world.   
Switzerland's federal data protection commissioner wants Google to ensure that 
all faces and car plates are blurred, remove pictures of enclosed areas such as 
walled gardens and private streets, and declare at least one week in advance 
which town and cities it plans to photograph and post online.   

"Numerous faces and vehicle number plates are not made sufficiently 
unrecognizable from the point of view of data protection, especially where the 
persons concerned are shown in sensitive locations, e.g. outside hospitals, 
prisons or schools," the commissioner, Hanspeter Thuer, said in a statement.   

"The height from which the camera on top of the Google vehicle films is also 
problematic," he said. "It provides a view over fences, hedges and walls, with 
the result that people see more on Street View than can been seen by a normal 
passer-by in the street."   

Thuer requested in August that Google take "various measures to protect 
personal privacy in its Street View online service."  
"Google for the most part declined to comply with the requests," the 
commissioner said, prompting him to take the matter to Switzerland's Federal 
Administrative Tribunal.   Google said in a statement that it was disappointed 
by the move.   

The California-based company believes Street View is legal and will "vigorously 
contest" the case, said Google's global privacy counsel Peter Fleischer.

While the case may take months to wind its way through Switzerland's legal 
system, it could have an immediate impact on the availability of the Street 
View service in the country.   

Thuer has asked the tribunal to require Google to remove all pictures taken in 
Switzerland and to cease taking any more pictures in the country until a ruling 
is made.   

While Switzerland has long been famous for its reserve and privacy - best 
illustrated by its strict banking secrecy laws - other countries also have 
taken a dim view of Street View since its launch in 2007.   In July, Greek 
officials rejected a bid to photograph the nation's streets until more privacy 
safeguards are provided. In April, residents of one English village formed a 
human chain to stop a camera van, and in Japan the company agreed to reshoot 
views taken by a camera high enough to peer over fences.   

Google also caved in to German demands to erase the raw footage of faces, house 
numbers, license plates and individuals who have told authorities they do not 
want their information used in the service.
