Swiss court eases up on Street View privacy concerns, Google says it’s pleased with the ruling

Per the ruling, however, Google will have to make adjustments to its viewing methods, things like making it easier for folks to manually blur images available on Street View, and full anonymity around hospitals, schools, prisons and courts. Naturally, Google says it’s quite pleased with the outcome and that it plans to “look at the ruling closely, discuss it with the federal data protection commissioner and examine what options are available.”
