Belgium’s defense department asked Google to remove sensitive military images from Google Maps’ satellite views. But Google (GOOGL, -0.45%) has not complied, and now the defense department is planning to sue the tech giant, Reuters reports.
Many countries have come head to head with Google Maps regarding concerns about national security and privacy. Images of military bases, nuclear sites and other sensitive locations in France and the Netherlands have already been removed from Google Maps‘ satellite views.
Google Maps’ Street View feature, which was created by sending out cars with cameras to drive around the world, faced a bit of an uphill battle in Europe, where conceptions of privacy are different from the United States.
