Google takes cow privacy seriously!! - LPC - 09-16-2016 Google, when it was mapping the world's streets, came across some cows. Naturally, it sought to take their privacy seriously! One cow had its face blurred for anonymity. See: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-37378007 The best part is that Google does not lack humour in mocking its own action. This is how its representative responded, full of lovely puns: "We thought you were pulling the udder one when we herd the moos, but it's clear that our automatic face-blurring technology has been a little overzealous. "Of course, we don't begrudge this cow milking its five minutes of fame." RE: Google takes cow privacy seriously!! - Catherine - 09-16-2016 Google is always good for a laugh. Actually this is good. Their facial recognition software recognized the cow's face as a face and automatically blurred it. Computers recognize cows as "people". Also it tells us that when we encounter the Google Streetview Car our privacy will be protected. I encounter them fairly often. Toronto gets updated frequently. Even my own street gets updated regularly. Is there anywhere Google has not been? |
