Last week, authorities of the German Government start a discussion about technologies that identify the location of individuals and their property. This was the answer to Google´s announcement of Street View service, made in August. With the implementation of this service, at the end of the year, Germany´s 20 largest cities maps and pictures could be online. Google agreed to add pixels to pictures when the owners requested it.
While Google defends as a service and that users want it, it is transforming to a problem for governments and data protection, and investigations are being made about the collection of them through wifi networks.
Is this a new form of Panopticom form the private sector? Can government protect citizen private data? What happen if you are renting a home... do you have the right to demand it too?
