Now that Google has lost interest in continuing its Street View service in Germany, a massive privacy paranoia market niche has opened in that country.
Although unable to meet the demand completely, Apple’s iPhone 4 has volunteered to jump into the breach until something more sinister comes along. Some users have reported that the phone, not unlike Google’s Street View, sometimes takes secret photos of them. You know, without their expressed written permission and all that?
Macht das iPhone 4 heimlich Fotos?
May one still open ones’ eyes when other people are present on the street? Has taking a picture of a crowd of people or person in public been made unlawful?
I genuinely don’t understand where they get a legel basis to “ban” Google Street View.
