印度禁止谷歌小车拍街景，担心危害国家安全 - 谷歌街景,印度 - IT资讯

6月11日消息，据外电报道，印度政府出于国家安全方面的考虑，拒绝了谷歌利用街景服务测绘这个南亚国家地图的计划。

街景服务是谷歌的虚拟测绘工具，可以让用户360度观看地图上任何地方的全景和街道照片。该服务现在已推广到了逾65个国家。

迄今为止，印度的街景服务只测绘了主要的地标性建筑和风景区，例如阿格拉市的泰姬陵和孟买市的印度门，而没有像在英国和美国那样拍摄街道照片。

尽管谷歌已对照片上的人脸、车辆牌照和其他敏感信息做了模糊化处理，但是印度的安全机构和国防部门仍然反对谷歌拍摄街景。

“我们主要担心的是一些敏感的国防设施的安全。国防部长已表示，一旦谷歌街景服务启动，我们就不可能监控它的活动了。这将会危害到我们国家的安全。”一名高级政府官员说。

此前，孟买市曾遭到恐怖袭击。而在今年1月，帕坦科特军事基地也遭到了恐怖分子的袭击。调查人员认为，那些恐怖分子通过谷歌地图服务熟悉了该空军基地的布局。

谷歌街景服务在欧洲（包括英国、捷克共和国和德国）也遭遇了类似的反对之声。在这些国家，具有隐私意识的市民要求谷歌模糊化处理他们住宅的照片。

在2013年，德国汉堡市数据保护机构还处罚了谷歌18.9225万美元。欧洲当局也规定，谷歌的街景自行车或汽车在拍摄市民的住宅时，应首先通知他们。

自从推出街景服务以来，谷歌已测绘了全世界一些最知名的古代遗址，包括吉萨金字塔和皮特拉古城；以及一些自然景观，例如加拉帕戈斯群岛和库克群岛的水下动物群。这些举措大大提高了人们的环境保护意识。最近，谷歌街景服务还测绘了巴西里约热内卢市的奥运会场馆。

谷歌称，它尚未接到印度当局禁止其服务的正式通知。
