• German Consumer Protection Minister Ilse Aigner

• “…comprehensive photo offensive is nothing less than a million-fold violation of the private sphere. I reject this form of exposure. There is not a secret service in existence that would collect photos so unabashedly.”

• Recently in Austria, a 70-year-old man who didn’t want his photo taken threatened the driver of a Google camera car with a garden pick.
