This should satisfy Commissioner Hanspeter Thr, since he and Peter Fleischer, Googles Global Privacy Counsel, met to discuss the situation.

Then heres a key point Googles going to revisit older Street View images and make the faces in them less distinct, too. So the next time you research a route to any spot, whether its in the Alps or the middle of America, what you see may be markedly different.This could cause Street View to be a bit less interesting, but it could also make a lot of objections to the program disappear. That would be quite important, since Google must be tired of running into fresh complaints every time it releases new photos, and software tweaks tend to cost less than lawsuits.The changes should start becoming visible over the next month or so.
