FYI, Google also asked for permission to do Street view in Slovenia (small country east of Italy) but the administration rejected them... |
TOMHTML | 13 years ago # |
Really, Greag? Could you give me a link or more where I could check that fact? It's interesting, I didn't know Slovenians had the same thought than Germans... Too bad, it's a nice country which deserves to be on Street View |
TOMHTML | 13 years ago # |
BTW, Grega, I learnt some months ago that Google was looking for drivers for their Street View cars in Croatia. Then, no more news. Do you have more information about that? |

Roger: how cool. This is how close they got to... :)
Tom: http://www.ip-rs.si/varstvo-osebnih-podatkov/iskalnik-po-odlocbah-in-mnenjih/odlocbe-in-mnenja-varstvo-osebnih-podatkov/?tx_jzvopdecisions_pi1%5BshowUid%5D=1943&cHash=40b3fc486d (in Slovene, of course...:)) It is an official response to Google In short, it says: -by capturing these data, a new "register" of personal data will be created and there is no legal base for such action -publishing the date and place of the shooting is now enough as the information would not reach all the people -if they capture the photo, it has to be anonymized immediately after the shooting (before any copying to some data center)
Related to Croatia. I was searching for some news related to that but there is no new ones after beginning of May when they were searching for cyclists in Croatia. As they say there that these will be driving around for three months, the data would probably be available later. However, there are no cars mentioned and I would assume that if somebody would see some, he/she would take a photo.
Anyway, until there is street view, some geo-located photos of Slovenia are available here: http://www.geopedia.si/Geopedia_en.html?params=T1035 There are, of course, no pictures of individuals. Or if they are, they have been anonymized. Or if they were not, nobody noticed that so far :)

Grega M. and others who have trouble posting awkward URLs in this forum:
URLs have a restricted character set, and any character outside that set should be URL-escaped by replacing it with its escape code. Here's a list of URL escape codes that you might need: http://www.december.com/html/spec/esccodes.html
There was a time when browsers escaped the addresses in their URL bar, but one by one they seem to have stopped doing this, perhaps because it confused users to see a different URL than the one they had typed in.
And for any web developers out there, why not just design your website to avoid characters like square brackets that cause problems for your site visitors? The ampersand can be hard to avoid, but I don't know any valid reason to include any of these other characters in a URL. |

Grega : Hvala, hvala in hvala! (one of the only few Slovenian/Croatian words I know ^^) I usually say that local laws are useless or 'anti-people' when it's against street view, because no one part (Google, country, visitors, ...) is winner. This time anyway, the reason about "it shouldn't be sent to other DC" looks OK for me, I understand the rational fear here. I don't say it's a good law, but it's not a bad or stupid law. Go Slovenia, go! |
