ByStefan WittwerOn 4th April 2011, the Swiss Administrative Court convicted Google Street View and ordered them to anonymize 100 per cent of the faces and car licence plates on their images. Google software is able to recognise approximately 98 per cent of faces and license plates.
Requesting 100% anonymisation means that millions of images will have to be checked manually and pixelated.
It is not clear whether Google is going to accepts this. They might either go to a higher court or stop providing the service in Switzerland. The court states that the right in one's own image is more important. Google says that it will cost millions to pixelate the images while the court says that Google is free to request a fee for the Street View service if the interest of the public is strong enough.

ByDavid WoodThe European Commission announced that it will launch a formal antitrust investigation following three complaints that were filed against Google by Foundem, ejustice.fr and Ciao, which is owned by the Microsoft search engine, Bing.
We welcome this decision, which acknowledges some of the issues stemming from online marketplace dominance on which ICOMP, its members and supporters have been voicing their concern for several years. A thorough investigation is necessary to determine the workings of Google’s black box.

Ben Edelman at the CEPIC Congress 2010 Dublin, CTK Photobank
This week, Harvard professor, Ben Edelman published research indicating that Google has “hard-coded” its own links to appear at the top of algorithmic search results, including links for Google Finance, Google Health, Google Maps and other Google-operated web services.
As reported by The Register’s Cade Metz, “these links appear independently of Google’s search algorithms, undermining the company’s off-stated claims that its search results are unbiased and completely automated.

ByNancy WolffIn the US, Various authors groups (The National Writers Union, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) sent a letter on January 6, 2010, to members of Congress.
These are also authors, seeking support in encouraging the Department of Justice to continue its opposition to a settlement of the Authors Guild copyright infringement action challenging the Google Books project. The letter asked the congressional authors whether they were “opting in” or “opting out” of the settlement and said that their interests are not being fairly represented by the Authors Guild.
