Privacy International in the news again.

Google's plans to launch a mapping tool in the UK could be referred to the Information Commissioner.

Street View matches photos of locations to maps, including passers-by who were captured as the photograph was taken.

"In our view they need a person's consent if they make use of a person's face for commercial ends," said Simon Davis of the group.
If the group does not get the answer it seeks within seven days, Mr Davies said it would write to the Information Commissioner seeking a suspension of the service in the UK.



It's a pity that Privacy International are not as outspoken about companies that want to make use of our data for commercial ends.
