Germany may introduce legislation to limit the activity of Google Inc.’s street mapping service, in which camera cars produce a detailed ground-level picture panorama of towns and cities worldwide, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing an unidentified Interior Ministry spokesman.
Google plans to introduce the service in 20 of the country’s biggest cities by the end of this year, and the Interior Ministry said it was reacting to public concern by considering modifications to existing privacy rules, which may need legislation, the newspaper said.
Google said it was concerned new rules may inhibit companies from building map products, the WSJ added.
