Topic: Switzerland takes Google to court

[Simon]

Web search giant Google faces a court case in Switzerland because of privacy concerns over its Street View service.

The application allows a 360-degree view of any street-level location.

"Numerous faces and vehicle number plates are not made sufficiently unrecognisable," said data protection commissioner Hanspeter Thuer.

Google said it was disappointed by the move. The firm says it is sure that Street View is legal in Switzerland and will "vigorously contest" the case.

Google vs Switzerland. Could be interesting...

I wouldn't bet on who would win.

Switzerland probably has most of Google's money.

[Simon]

Not exactly the poor cousins, are they, the Swiss?

Makes you wonder why they put holes in their cheese.

Indeed!
