Google Gets Another Street View Privacy Fine — In Italy

It seems like each European country is taking its turn fining Google for some privacy infraction. This time, it’s Italy and involves Street View. Google has reportedly paid a roughly $1.4 million (1 million EUR) fine.

According a story in Reuters, the issue this time was the failure to clearly mark Street View cars during Italian street photography in 2010:

The fine announced on Thursday relates only to vehicles not being labeled clearly enough. The watchdog has also reported to Italy’s judicial authorities that Google accidentally captured fragments of electronic communications as part of its mapping research in the country.
