Google Spies
http://www.sltrib.com/technology/ci_14472239
It can leave you a little uneasy to think that someone, strike that, anyone can look up your address on Google and several seconds later be staring at a picture of your house. Anyone can look at your house from the street, and the view of your house isn't something that you own. Perhaps Google feels that they are just using technology to give people already-available-information in a faster way, but that extra effort of having to drive to your house in order to see it is what gave a sense of privacy, a sense of privacy that Google has stripped away. The EU, in an attempt to protect this privacy, has asked Google to notify residents before sending cameras into their neighborhoods. This takes the responsibility of knowing where Google is taking pictures off of the people and puts it where it belongs, on Google itself.
