Google Ordered to Pay Argentine Pictured Naked in His Yard
ARGENTINA, JUL 24 – Appeals judges ruled the image violated the man’s dignity and awarded $12,500 in compensation, citing Google’s failure to prevent the privacy breach within his home.
- Last year, the Argentine policeman won compensation, after Google Street View captured him naked in his yard, with appeals judges ruling the invasion of privacy was blatant.
- He sought payment from the internet giant for harm to his dignity, stating the image captured him behind a two-meter wall in small-town Argentina in 2017.
- Co-Accused Cablevision SA and El Censor were cleared of liability, while Google claimed the perimeter wall was not high enough.
- Amid digital mapping debates, the court highlighted privacy and dignity protections, with appeals judges finding no justification for Google to evade responsibility for the intrusion.
