Microsoft's Bing Streetside taken offline in Germany

Microsoft's Bing Streetside taken offline in Germany

We talked about Bing Streetside from Microsoft being the software giant's equivalent of Google's Streetview before, and here is the latest bit of news concerning Microsoft's Bing Streetside. It seems that the service has already been taken offline in Germany, where this occured after German citizens shared their worries about how Microsoft handles requests for the blurring of images. The entire slew of German panorama photos were made inaccessible as a precautionary measure, while Microsoft looks into the complaints of German citizens while working out an amicable solution that should be accepted by all, or at least, the majority.

Ubergizmo, Microsoft's Bing Streetside taken offline in Germany
