Travel + Learn. Hi, my name is Matthias, I'm a journalist from Germany. Here on my YouTube channel I try to combine my journalistic work with the joy of solo traveling. My „Travel & Learn“ series tells the story behind the places and countries I‘m traveling. It‘s about the little things along the road that nobody would ever notice - and about the questions you didn‘t know you needed answered.

Video Description
Google Street View exists since 2007 and is available today on almost every phone and in almost every European country. Only in Germany the situation is different: Here you will find huge blank spots on the map and only recordings that are up to 15 years old. How did that happen? Turns out: There is a quite funny story behind it, that I'm gonna tell you in today's video. A film by Matthias Schwarzer. -------------------------------------------------- Here are the articles mentioned in my video: The first news about the Molfsee protest, published in 2008: https://rp-online.de/digitales/internet/kleine-gemeinde-will-google-street-view-verbieten_aid-11575495 Molfsee is searching for a loophole in the law (2008): https://www.stern.de/digital/online/street-view-google-erregt-kleine-staedte-3750230.html More about the Molfsee protest in 2009: https://taz.de/Molfsee-gegen-Street-View/!5163646/ The British village Broughton stops a Street View Car: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2009/apr/03/google-street-view-broughton Ratingen wants to charge Google: https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-News-Internet-Ratingen-Streit-mit-Google-Street-View-4944831.html Jeff Jarvis about the German Street View problem: https://www.zeit.de/digital/internet/2010-11/street-view-jeff-jarvis-verpixelung/komplettansicht Activist Jens Best wants to publish the pixelated houses: https://www.zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/2010-08/streetview-jens-best A theory why Germans care so much about data protection: https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/germany-street-view/ -------------------------------------------------- Did you like this video?
