Some owners and staff have given their consensus to getting their photos taken or to be recorded.
Recently Google just got hit with a fine from France.
Websites like shutterstock require a written consent from people in the photos. The consent form has the person s full details: phone, address, email and so on.
How would a person submit a written consent form to Google Maps?
As I know, currently there is not such form or even a check-mark to show the consent of people who appeared in photo. And because of this we make faces blurry. In other cases, business owners should provide a written consent but it is useful only when Google or maybe judgment needs such information about a challenge on a photo.
But also unfortunately there are lots of privacy concern photos on the map and Google should be more serious in this case
