Angry residents of an English village blocked the driver of a Google Street View car who was filming the neighbourhood, saying they feared he would encourage burglaries, a report said.
據(jù)報(bào)道，一輛谷歌街道視圖拍攝車(chē)在英國(guó)一個(gè)村子附近取景時(shí)，其駕駛員遭到憤怒的當(dāng)?shù)鼐用駠?，居民們稱擔(dān)心此舉會(huì)助長(zhǎng)入室盜竊。
One resident, Paul Jacobs, told the reporters he had alerted his neighbours after spotting the car from his window in Broughton, Buckinghamshire, southern England.
該村是位于英格蘭南部白金漢郡的布勞頓鎮(zhèn)。居民保羅·雅各布斯對(duì)記者說(shuō)，他透過(guò)窗戶發(fā)現(xiàn)了谷歌公司的拍攝車(chē)，于是通知了鄰居們。
"I don't have a problem with Google wanting to promote villages. What I have a problem with is the invasion of privacy, taking pictures directly into the home," Jacobs said.
“谷歌想為村鎮(zhèn)做宣傳介紹，我不反對(duì)；我反對(duì)的是它直接對(duì)著家里拍照，侵犯?jìng)€(gè)人隱私?！?/p>
"I was determined to make a stand, so I called the police." After his call, a police car arrived in Broughton to reports of a dispute between a crowd of people and a Google Street View contractor.
雅各布斯還說(shuō)，“我當(dāng)時(shí)就決定全力制止他們的行為，所以我報(bào)了警?！敝?，一輛警車(chē)抵達(dá)布勞頓村，來(lái)處理民眾與谷歌街景拍攝承包車(chē)之間的爭(zhēng)執(zhí)。
The Google Street View project, set up this year in Britain, aims to provide detailed 360-degree views online of streets all over Britain.
谷歌公司的“街道視圖”功能于今年在英國(guó)推出，旨在提供英國(guó)各地街道360度的網(wǎng)絡(luò)詳細(xì)視圖。
The project has already been strongly criticised by associations like Privacy International, a pressure group which has launched legal action against the IT company.
但這項(xiàng)功能已經(jīng)遭到眾多機(jī)構(gòu)組織的強(qiáng)烈指責(zé)，如壓力團(tuán)體“隱私國(guó)際”就已經(jīng)對(duì)谷歌公司提出訴訟。
Google is confident their new mapping project is within the law.
谷歌公司則堅(jiān)信，該公司的這一制圖新功能沒(méi)有違法。
"Before launching Street View we sought the guidance and approval of the Information Commissioner's Office. The ICO has repeatedly made clear that it believes that Street View includes the safeguards necessary to protect people's privacy," a Google spokesman said.
谷歌公司的一名發(fā)言人說(shuō)：“在推出‘街道視圖’服務(wù)前，我們已經(jīng)獲得了英國(guó)信息委員會(huì)辦公室的批準(zhǔn)。該辦公室已經(jīng)多次表明，他們相信‘街道視圖’功能涵蓋了必要的隱私保護(hù)措施?！?/p>
He added: "Embarking on new projects, we sometimes encounter unexpected challenges, and Street View has been no exception."
他還補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“我們啟動(dòng)新項(xiàng)目時(shí)，有時(shí)會(huì)面臨無(wú)法預(yù)料的考驗(yàn)，‘街道視圖’也不例外?！?/p>
