Which one is that? Because Austria also has no Street View and the reasons for it are ridiculous.

- jacquesm 10y agoAs far as I understand it Google thought it was too much trouble to comply with the 'remove my house from streetview' requests that came in and were found to be legal and so they killed streetview in protest. I guess they figured that the rest of the Germans would make a fuss if they pulled out but that didn't happen. https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/1fzygw/why_is_there_no_street_view_in_germany/ https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/1fzygw/why_is_there... Privacy is an excellent reason why things like streetview should be opt-in rather than opt-out but even opt-out was too much work for Google.
