Britain
Villagers in Broughton, Milton Keynes, said no to the roving eye of Google by forming a human chain to turn away its camera car. But news crews then raced to Broughton, snapping photos and broadcasting images of the village to the rest of the country. In London, an image of a man in T-shirt and shorts emerging from a Soho sex shop was removed.

The country's privacy watchdog demanded to know how long images would be stored before it allowed Google to continue taking pictures.
Japan
Google has agreed to reshoot its photos after complaints that cameras peeped over hedges and fences.
Switzerland
