Google Street View’s cameras have returned to Germany more than a decade after a privacy backlash in the country pushed it to stop updating images.
Alphabet Inc.’s update will start with new photos of the streets and landmarks of the country’s 20 largest cities and expand from there, the company said in a blog post on Tuesday. Google voluntarily suspended Street View photography in Germany in 2011, after an outcry from privacy advocates and opposition from regulators.
