Google Street View

Google has launched the new addition to Google Maps and Google Earth, Google Street View. 

It is a new feature where Google has gone around driving up streets taking pictures of buildings from the streets view / perspective. Rather than from satellite, what we are use to on Google Maps / Earth. 

Tonight watching the News Reporter try and explain it, they typically had civil libertarians on there complaining that it is a grievous breach of security and invasion of personal privacy. 

Below are the best attempt the news could find to illustrate the breach of privacy. One “Expert” was even on a rant about Google thinking they are above the law, and the incumbent Australian government needs to filter Google, and “Put them in their place”. 

How pathetic, once again, if you want to walk into a porno store, you need to wear the consequences, if you do something in public, then its something, in the worst case, you need to feel OK around your grandma.
