Google Addresses Privacy Issues on Street View

Google begins testing face-blurring technology for its Street View option. Street View is a feature that gives users a 360° view of selected cities. The street view feature was launched in May 2007 as an addition to the Google Maps application.

PeekaCity Adds Google's Street View

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 24, 2008 -- Peekacity.com, Chicago's leader in web-based amenity mapping software for the real estate industry, is the first real estate amenity mapping software to add Google's Street View. Agents and online real estate consumers now have the ability to view street level photos of properties. They may zoom in for detail and "virtually" drive up and down the street to visualize the surrounding homes and the neighborhood. By simply clicking on the amenity or property and selecting "Open" next to the "Street View" tag, the Street View of the selected object will be displayed. Users navigate around the area using their mouse within the display.

EU warns Google in advance of European Street View debut

Google Street View is both a blessing and a curse. For those of us who get lost easily, being able to see an actual photograph of your destination before leaving the house can be immensely helpful. For others, the prospect of having everything photographed from the street—including possibly themselves—is very creepy. The European Union agrees with the latter folks, and feels strongly that Google Street View—as implemented now in the US—would be a violation of EU privacy laws. That's why the organization reminded Google this week to respect local privacy laws once Street View makes its jump across the pond.

Google Street View Now Blurring Faces

Google, no doubt responding to the wave of criticism from privacy advocates, has decided to start using face blurring tech to blur out the faces of people inadvertently caught on camera by the Street View cars.
