Google Street View May Be Pulled in UK
Google Street View may be switched off in the UK while a formal enquiry is carried out by information minister, Richard Thomas. Privacy International says that the website is still showing clear images of people and registration plates. In one case a woman who had fled a violent partner was photographed outside her new home. In another case two work colleagues were photographed kissing and cuddling, when they should have been home with their spouses. Google says that the privacy protection technology is in place. However, it would seem that it requires a little polish to get it fit for public scrutiny.
