10,000 Germans want out of Street View
IT SEEMS THAT thousands of Germans want their homes removed from Google's Street View before the service is launched in 20 German cities by November.
The country's minister for consumer affairs, Ilse Aigner, has requested to be excluded.
It is fair to say that the German people have a bit of history when it comes to state surveillance. After the Nazis' Gestapo and East Germany's Stasi, they really do not want to be spied on even if it is to help their friends find their homes.
An announcement from Google earlier this week said that it would allow Germans to opt out of Street View and has led to a rush of people wanting to opt out.
This option will close on midnight on 15 September and written letters with a request to be excluded from Street View will be accepted only if sent to Google before 21 September.
Writing precisely in his blog, Peter Schaar, Germany's federal commissioner for data protection claimed that more than 10,000 people have contacted Google so far objecting to parts of Street View.
Street View is currently available in 10 EU member states, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands and the Czech Republic, as well in the non-EU European countries Norway and Switzerland. There is not yet a date that has been announced for imagery to be available of the EU capital Brussels or Belgium. µ

Leave it to the Germans, with their cherished privacy laws, to question this outrageous behavior. Similar inquiries are popping up, too, in Spain, Australia and even the U.S.
Fact is, websites like Google, Facebook and others been doing this online for years, mining our private information and creating profiles of us based on what we do when we are online — but it’s all invisible, so we don’t see it. Behind the scenes, these online “services” are gathering our data to create digital profiles of us and our buying habits, beliefs, likes and dislikes, etc. and selling this information to advertisers and marketers hoping to sell us something.
There is a new privacy- and security-based social-networking site on the way, however, where the user is in complete control of all private information. ZeldaB does not allow advertising nor do it monitor, capture or keep your information, so predators, spammers and window peepers are kept away with strong, built-in security that confirms the identities of each and every member.

Hmmm...I wonder if only Germans would of liked to get out of Google Street View. What about these poor Google Street View victims: http://www.streetviewfunny.com
is to make the few trouble-makers self-identify. That's why we should outlaw such databases though, instead of implying there's something wrong with people who object.

Isn't requesting your house to be replaced by some gray "censored" block in google SW the best method to attract more attention to it?
It would be like putting up a sign that says "I have something to hide, please investigate or rob my house".
