My colleague Martin Budden just pointed me at this news article about how Google's Street View service doesn't blur out the face of Colonel Sanders.

After hearing this 1) I didn't believe it and 2) I was wanting to prove wrong the quote from a spokesman that said: "It is unfortunate that Colonel Sanders' face has been blurred, but at the same time shows just how good our facial recognition technology is."

I put it to the test and found that most instances were indeed blurred however from one angle the colonel was clearly visible thus invading his privacy.

I quickly did the decent thing any standing citizen would do and filed a report to Google.



I'll let you know of any progress but hopefully Mr Sanders will be regaining his privacy soon.
