A Frankfurt court has ruled that Google must delete aerial images of a German man's property from Google Maps and Google Earth. The man had already succeeded in having his house blurred on Street View. The court found that nobody should have to accept worldwide aerial imagery of their home without consent, at least for areas hidden from public view.

Why now: The ruling sets a precedent for privacy rights over aerial imagery in Germany and could affect how Google handles similar takedown requests.
