g. Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn Corp. (LNKD) have gained so much traction as online marketing tools that major firms like Morgan Stanley (MS) and Bank of America's (BAC) Merrill Lynch have begun allowing employees to use them in their work. Morgan Stanley said Wednesday it would roll out LinkedIn's career and socializing service and Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, to 600 of its financial advisers in its Morgan Stanley Smith Barney brokerage joint venture in June. The firm, which will allow advisers to share preapproved status updates and tweets, expects to make the social networking sites available to the rest of its 17,800-member advisory force within six months. A Bank of America spokeswoman told Dow Jones Newswires on Wednesday the firm has advisers with full capabilities on LinkedIn. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Wall Street's self-regulatory watchdog, requires static communications, such as advertisements, to be approved by a company representative licensed by regulators to approve sales materials. Interactive content, which covers most emails as well as tweets, posts and texts on mobile phones, doesn't need to be preapproved, but has to be supervised. Companies have to keep records of both types of content for at least three years. Massachusetts has asked for responses by June 8. The Secretary of the Commonwealth, William Galvin, has beenphed in the vicinity of "sensitive establishments," such as women's shelters, retirement homes, prisons, schools, courts and hospitals. "The demands made by the administrative court are unrealistic," said Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel. "They would force us to withdraw the service from Switzerland." If Google fails at the higher court and goes through with its threat, it would be the first time that the company has permanently switched off Street View anywhere in the world, though it has faced privacy concerns in many of the 27 countries where the service is available. Street View only went online in Germany after a monthslong battle with authorities who insisted that citizens had the right to blur images of their properties. Only 20 German cities are pictured on Street View and in April, Google announced that it was removing all of its vehicles from the country. While that doesn't affect existing images, it means they will not be updated and no further cities are expected to go online. In March, the company also received a euro100,000 (US$143,570) fine in France because the cars used to take photographs for Street View had illegally collected personal data from Wi-Fi networks, something it has apologized for. Switzerland's data protection commissioner, Hanspeter Thuer, had filed the complaint against Google after determining that the company's automatic face blurring software wasn't 100 percent accurate. The company denied that it would be too expensive to manually check all Street View images, as Thuer had proposed. Instead, it argued that human being would likely make more mistakes than computers, which it said already have an accuracy rate of 99 percent. But with some 212 million Street View images viewed in Switzerland since the launch of the service, the error margin runs in the millions. During a court hearing in February, Thuer used a live version of Street View to demonstrate examples where the software failed to obscure faces of adults and children in public -- including outside the court -- and even inside private homes. "We will try our very best to preserve Street View for Swiss users," said Patrick Warnking, Google's country manager for Switzerland. "I want to say clearly and unequivocally that we take data protection seriously," he added. "We have already taken measures to protect the identity of individuals and vehicles in Street View. And we hope that this will be appropriately recognized in t
