Man Wins Payout After Google Photographs Him in the Nude in His Yard

  • A court in Argentina has mandated that Google compensate a police officer approximately $12,500 after an image of him nude in his backyard in Bragado, taken in 2017 by a Street View vehicle, was published online.
  • The man sued Google Argentina in 2019 after a lower court dismissed the case, blaming him for being outside in inappropriate conditions.
  • The appeals judges determined that Google made a significant mistake by displaying the uncensored image behind a two-meter wall, thereby infringing on the man’s dignity.
  • The court stated, "The invasion of privacy is blatant," and noted Google's policy to blur faces as evidence it acknowledges responsibility to prevent harm.
  • The decision may set a precedent for comparable privacy lawsuits in Latin America and requires Google to compensate approximately 9,300 euros, or $12,500 USD.
