德国黑森州法院近日裁定美国科技公司谷歌侵犯了一名法兰克福男子的隐私权1。法院认为谷歌在未经同意的情况下,在Google Earth和Google Maps上发布该业主住宅的航拍图像属于违法行为1。
法院判决书指出,业主对其整个地产具有个人空间隐私权1,谷歌无权以知识民主化之名侵犯私人空间1。法院强调,"任何人都不必接受其财产的全球范围内的航拍图像发布,特别是那些隐离公众视野的区域"1。此外,法院指控谷歌通过"监视"获取图像,因为谷歌未事先通知业主其财产将被拍摄1。
该裁定目前仍可上诉1。
A court in Germany's Hesse state has determined that Google violated the privacy rights of a Frankfurt resident by publishing aerial images of his property without authorization 1. The ruling establishes that property owners possess a personal privacy right over their entire estates, and Google cannot justify such intrusions under the pretext of democratizing information 1.
The court found that Google's practice of capturing and displaying images on Google Earth and Google Maps without prior notification to the homeowner constitutes unlawful surveillance 1. According to the decision, no individual should be required to accept globally accessible aerial photographs of their property, particularly those depicting areas secluded from public view 1. The court rejected Google's argument that information freedom permits the company to encroach on private spaces 1. The ruling remains subject to appeal 1.
