Google Street View could become a legal problem in Europe

EU’s data protection agency has said that Google’s Street View service could cause privacy concerns in the European country.

Google has already started putting US cities imagery on their web service. And they could next aim to extend the feature to popular European destinations.

European Union Data Protection Supervisor Peter Hustinx said in a statement on their stand: “Making pictures everywhere is certainly going to create some problems.”

Google might have to make adjustments to the photos if they want to stay away from legal hassles in Europe.

Google has already been complying with the demands made by the US and other country’s governments regarding their Google Maps and Google Earth services.

The search engine giant has also now started blurring the faces on the images delivered through Google Street View in the US market.
