Further to my post on the subject earlier this month, the Guardian reports the Information Commissioner's Office has said it's satisfied Google's doing its utmost to safeguard people's privacy as it rolls out its new service.
"We are satisfied that Google is putting in place adequate safeguards to avoid any risk to the privacy or safety of individuals, including the blurring of vehicle registration marks and the faces of anyone included in Street View images. Although it is possible that in certain limited circumstances an image may allow identification of an individual, it is clear that Google are keen to capture images of streets and not individuals."
Who's going to tell these Daily Mail readers?!$**+=
