I will repost my comment here to you in the hope you will better understand my culture.
first this isnt about google
the german public has seen theire private information being
collected and send through algorithms in attempts to harvest
behavioural data leeding to many scandals over the last years.
It is now start to begin to develop a consciousness about the change
that the informational age will truly have impact to the relations on
human interaction in the 21st century and it is thus they want to have a debate about to determine the pro´s and con´s and to be able to setup institutionalized rules for government and corporations alike to
determine a balance and
safeguard human dignity.
then this is about google
streetview represented the german public with theyre first real chance to express theyre desire for thorough intellectual investigation regarding the future treatment and development of theyre right to privacy -
originating from the german constitution -
originating from the equality and quality of dignity –
Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar
The Right of every german citizen to determine pictures of her- or himself public or not is a strong safeguard of the real enforcement of oneselfs privacy. In this case google streetview just happens to have ignited a spark that allowed many who could not express theyre desire nor give rational of theyre feelings a flank to project exactly those desires. Special Interest Groups represented e.g.
through Springer/Bild, AdvertisePrint, politians… used this “opportunity” to exaggerate themselves. Google may not take this easy! The acceptance of humans expressing theyre will to not take part in something many others do is on the very essence of
democratic societies – the protection of minorities
Google may be best adviced to not take the streetview issue as utterly important
but just if they realise that there are societies that will not allow theyre freedom and dignity
to be washed out by the slow streams of magnitudial change –
but want them to grow with it.
- bitboxer 16y agoBut why isn't there much fight against Swift, the telecommunications data retention and other stuff? I don't understand that...those issues are way more important than google street view.
- t_muc 16y agoAnalyzing the macro objectives of steady transforming entities like societies - you need to have substantial knwoledge about the underlying principles that form the core of the structure of such entities as well as the intensity and underlying principles of the magnitudial change these entities are being constantly encountering. Then the interdependence of action inducing substructures regarding the affinity or neglection of change. In this circumstance the solely important principles to assess your findings are reality and humans. streetview as i tried to explain entered a nexus in a society that struggles to define a core right -privacy- in a new surrounding -informational age- streetviews core -photos- is colliding with the interpretation of a wide known -right on ones own photo- these and other factors work as aplifiers. swift was a very deep public and parliamentary debate and the conclusion was that from now on it will be send again from the eu to the u.s but a european agency will be established and will take over when they are ready - i hope i could help a little
