News: Swiss take Google Street View to Court

From the Register: Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) Hans-Peter Thur is taking Google Street View to court, unsatisfied with the privacy enhancing blurring Google have offered in the Street View images so far:

Thür's patience has now run out, and his office said in a statement: "In its written response on 14 October 2009, Google for the most part declined to comply with the requests. For these reasons, the FDPIC has decided to take the matter further and to take legal action before the Federal Administrative Court."

AFP notes that Google has insisted it's "absolutely convinced that Swiss View is legal in Switzerland."
