Google fined for a photo outdoors

lundi 3 novembre 2014 à 13:00

A Canadian court fined Google for publishing a photo of a woman sitting on the steps of her house. People could tell who she was even though Google blurred out her face.

This decision is fundamentally wrong and dangerous, because the right to take a photo outdoors and publish it must be respected.

The plaintiff received nasty criticisms because the photo showed her wearing revealing clothing. However, Google was not to blame for this. She wasn't to blame either, since there is nothing wrong about wearing revealing clothing. The blame falls on the people who attacked her.
