Google Gives Germans Map Monitor
ZDNet, Thursday, October 25, 2012 12:01 PM
In Germany, a number of tech giants -- including Google, Microsoft, and Nokia -- have formed an association to secure consumer privacy. The group just launched a Web site where people can have
their homes, license plates, and personal images removed from mapping services, including Google Street View and Nokia Maps. As ZDNet reports: “The new service is part of a commitment
voluntarily signed by the companies in the wake of Google and others' decision to start mapping services in Germany.”
