The author concluded in his article that "the Muslim faith is not compatible with the rule of law and democracy" and "consequently" should be banned. The main picture accompanying the article showed some Muslims demonstrating on the Bundesplatz in Bern. One of those pictured, whose faces were clearly recognizable, filed a complaint with the Press Council: The picture had been taken several years earlier at a peaceful demonstration against the Danish Mohammed cartoons and appeared here out of context.

In its statement, the Press Council acknowledged the right of the media to express fundamental criticism of Islam and all other religions. However, a medium may not illustrate such an opinion piece with any archive pictures from a completely different context. The main picture of Weltwoche was not a symbolic picture; moreover, the people depicted had not given their consent for a renewed publication in this completely different context. A person who demonstrates peacefully for his religion does not have to accept that his picture later serves as an illustration of an article that denounces this religion and thus also the person depicted as potentially violent and anti-constitutional. "The negative statements of an article inevitably fall back on the persons depicted in it," the Press Council said. And no one would have to be liable as a scapegoat with his face for accusations that have nothing to do with his person, nor with the situation in which the picture was taken. Weltwoche had also violated the privacy of the complainant with the publication of the picture.

Thür demanded measures from Google in September 2009to improve the protection of privacy in Street View. Because the majority of Google refused to implement the proposals, the Federal Administrative Court had to rule on the matter following a complaint by the FDPIC. The judges in Bern have now come to the conclusion that Google must comply with almost all of Thür's demands. At the heart of this is Google's obligation to manually make the faces of people and vehicle license plates completely unrecognizable. According to the FDPIC, only around 98 percent of all faces are currently blurred automatically.

Complete anonymity must be established in the area of sensitive facilities, such as women's shelters, prisons, schools, courts, social authorities and hospitals. In addition to the face, Google must also remove other individual characteristics such as skin color or clothing. Google must also provide information in local newspapers about planned recording trips and the uploading of images online instead of just on the Google Maps homepage, as was previously the case. According to the court, it is also inadmissible to view courtyards and gardens that would not be visible to "normal passers-by".

The decision can still be appealed to the Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne. According to the current ruling, every person has the right to their own image. This means that, in principle, no one may be depicted without their consent. This also applies to images in which people only appear as an accessory, as on Street View.

Additional expense to cope with

This right to one's own image must take precedence over the economic interests of Google as well as those of the users. Google is currently accepting the violation of personal rights for the sake of its success. This could be avoided with post-processing, whereby the additional costs obviously do not jeopardize Google's existence. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the additional costs could be passed on to the users of Google Street View. Finally, it should not be forgotten that this is not about a ban on Google Street View.

According to the court, Google only does not have to fulfill one of Thür's demands. It concerns recordings made from private roads. Thür wanted such recordings to be posted online only with the consent of the authorized parties. Google countered the data protection officer's demands at the court hearing at the end of February by arguing that nobody was really interested in the few faces that were still visible. Thür's demand was disproportionate.

Moreover, it is not clear why Google should be banned from doing what others are allowed to do on the internet and in the media without further ado. There is great public and private interest in Street View. Ultimately, the data protection officer's complaint was made for purely political reasons. (SDA)  

Google and data protectionists argue before federal administrative court

For the first time, a section of Letemps.ch is reserved for a single partner in terms of visibility, the company said in a press release. Rentes Genevoises has full legitimacy for such an operation, as the company is a recognized player, the partnership is justified. The newspaper does not believe that its editorial independence is at risk: "As both partners are guided by the same strict standards in their respective fields, it goes without saying that the Le Temps editorial team will maintain its full independence and editorial autonomy when dealing with pension issues." The hope remains that the "exclusive and unprecedented partnership" will not break down any walls.

The corresponding section on the Letemps.ch website: on the right, a Rentes Genevoises logo and the words "in collaboration with" above it indicate the partnership.

The Journal du Jura, the Vaud local newspaper La Côte, L'Express from Neuchâtel, L'Impartial from La Chaux-de-Fonds NE and Le Nouvelliste from Valais have joined forces. The whole thing was initiated by the Hersant Group (Editions Suisse Holding), owner of these regional newspapers with the exception of the Journal de Jura, which belongs to the Biel-based Gassmann Group. A new joint platform called "Agence romande de presse" was founded in Neuchâtel. Here, eight journalists produce the joint cover consisting of the Swiss, foreign and business sections.

Reorganization without job cuts

According to Nicolas Willemin, project manager and editor-in-chief of L'Express and L'Impartial, the entire reorganization could be carried out without job cuts. However, some editors from Sion now have to work in Neuchâtel. Thanks to the reorganization, more resources are now available, which in turn will be used for an additional background page in the regional section, Willemin added.

According to Willemin, the aim of the new arrangement is to benefit more from in-house services and be less dependent on agency texts. In addition, an agreement has been concluded with the conservative French daily Le Figaro, which allows the regional newspapers in French-speaking Switzerland to use its articles. (SDA)
