Over on the reg there is an artilce about
Google Street view in the UK, their chat with the ICO and how the ICO is satisfied with what Google plans to do. Fair enough. The part that is kinda of odd is what Simon Davies of Privacy International has to say. Where do we know him from.
Quote for the reg article:
Quote:
Privacy International spokesman Simon Davies said Street View's lack of transparency is its fundamental problem. "We've asked for details of the [blurring] technology and Google will not yield it... Google is claiming commercial secrecy, but they won't even show us how effective it is," he said. "The ICO is of course entitled to form its opinion but we'll continue to press Google."
Privacy International also asked the firm to explain if and how it consulted with the UK public on its plans, but has again been stonewalled

Not wanting to spark off another round of Simon Davies bashing but it does seem kind of odd considering his role in the Phorm debate?
