StreetView – "…complete privacy doesn’t exist.""

Posted on August 1, 2008, 5:34 pm, by admin, under Photography, Web Mapping.

I’ve just be reading the latest on the Google StreetView on bbc news here.  The debate is just getting ridiculous when you see quotes like:

“…Google’s “reckless conduct” in driving down a private road and publishing the photos caused “mental suffering” and hurt the value of their home. They are seeking damages of more than $25,000 (£12,500).”

Personally I am a firm believer in the alleged Scott McNeely quote:

“Privacy is dead; get over it”?

On the other hand when it comes to Google cars in bus lanes I am really worried.

Update – 4th Aug

StreetView has been approved by the British Information Commissioner’s Office.  See this story.
