"Web search giant Google faces a court case in Switzerland because of privacy concerns over its Street View service.
The application allows a 360-degree view of any street-level location.

What a surprise... |
In fact, Switzerland has no problem with Google. The only problem's name is Hanspeter Thuer.
This just just want to be famous. Suing Google is a great way to do that. |
I believe that you aren't alone with your thoughts... |
This guy is responsible for all questions about privacy in its country.
Currently there are big problems with Swiss bank accounts because some names are given to other countries (France, ...). But does Hanspeter Thür cares about? No.
On its official website, you can see there is no press release about something else than Google Street View since June. |
Moreover, he is bad at calculation.
I've written an article about this story and the problem with that guy; it's in French but Google Translate isn't so bad that time so I think you will understand what I've said.
