Have a look at street view I had thought in the past about Google Earth and the possibility that it could be used to stalk people by looking at their homes and properties. With the introduction of the new street view on google earth it made me wonder where the line is crossed for a persons privacy. If i were to sit outside your house every day taking photo's I'm sure you would not like it, so how come Google can do it and nothing gets said? I feel its an invasion of privacy, especially as google does not consult either home owners or people it shows on its website. If i was up to no good i could use the stuff that's on their site to look for big houses to burgle or places to hide to spy on people. The list of bad, immoral and illegal things i could do just by using Google Earth is endless.
Its bad enough with all of the camera's that capture our every move, but surely photographing peoples homes from street angle is wrong. I just can't understand why Google doesn't need some sort of permit to use these satellites and camera's, and to give open access on the Internet to every weirdo around is terrible. Even paedophiles could use the site to look at school locations and other creepy stuff that they get up to.
