I feel pretty secure in predicting that not one vote will be swayed by the absence of Google Street View in Austria. A little perspective is nice.

- CamperBob2 13y agoIt's a general principle, not a specific one.
- teddyh 13y agoSo Google is taking a principled stand against states which pass laws designed to protect the privacy of their citizens?

- CamperBob2 13y agoNo, the principle is that you can have overreaching privacy protections or convenient geolocation features, but not both. (That said, a3_nm's post indicates that this case had more to do with Google's collection of private data over WiFi than the photographs themselves. It's hypocritical for governments in the age of Snowden to criticize a private company for doing that, but at least it's understandable.)
