Google has been fined for including an image on Street View that showed a woman’s breasts. The Street View image shows a blonde woman sitting on some steps outside her house in Canada. When zoomed in her cleavage is visible but she is wearing a low-cut top. Maria Pia Grillo, the woman in the picture, sued Google over the photograph saying her privacy had been violated. A judge at a Canadian court today ruled that the technology giant should pay a fine of £1,255 (2,250 Canadian dollars). Google has also completely blurred out the woman from Street View. Judge Alain Breault said:’In addition to malicious comments and humiliation she suffered at work, the plaintiff, in particular, has experienced a significant loss of personal modesty and dignity, two values that she held and are eminently respectable.’ Google have not commented on the case. Ms Grillo had originally sued for £25,000 ($45,000). Metro » Metro.co.uk: Latest news on sport, showbiz, politics, celebrities from Metro newspaper online ift.tt/1xItuS4
