In this case, they are taking something away that was already granted, though. They are saying they will take their toy and go home if the Swiss government doesn't do things their way. That -is- a threat. (Although possibly one the Swiss government doesn't care about.) I happen to think the Swiss government is correct here, too. Privacy is a very real concern these days. I know there are some places where it is illegal to use someone's face commercially without written permission and they have to blur them out... Why should this be any different? Google has a service they are providing that isn't following that.
