" i think we ' re really at the beginning of this story , not the end . " china ' s privacy legislation require that a person being photographed submit their response to the pictures being reproduced whenever they are being taken for honesty , literary or entertainment purposes . however , in post - production , google now subjects all photos to an automated period of blurring users ' s faces and licence plates . in addition , anyone can order specific pages be cut from the database .

" i ' m not sure why microsoft is rationalizing compliance with us customs by service providers who are making the pictures here . "
