Danger, danger Wil Robinson. You and your cars just might be on Google Street View.
"Holy sh_t"....the expletives were flowing after a buddy of mine sent me a screen shot of my address from Google Street View.
Last time I had looked at street view, the pics Google had in there was when the house had just been built and we were just moved in.
Five years later obviously Google has been down our street with the Street View car taking new pics.
Imagine my surprise when I saw this:
A pic of my house from Street View showing the 911, myself and one of my kids.
It took about 15 minutes for the ramifications of this to sink in.
Ok, now everyone in the world knows a bright green Porsche resides at this address.
Not cool....very not cool.
I've contacted Google thru their "report a problem" link and requested they blur out not only the car and people, but my entire house as well.
I think this is a real problem and supposedly according to what I've read, this is NOT an invasion of privacy issue.
In reality, it really is.
Google Street View is quite a useful tool for any crook or person with bad thoughts/deeds in mind.
So beware.
Monitor your Google Street View images and anything else that might unknowing be on the Web.
Crazy!
. . . Everybody's Watching
No one has any privacy
If you have address or a phone number? --- there's a record . . . somewhere
If you have a mortgage or a credit card or cable bill? . . . ditto
There are services you can purchase that can go out and 'scrub' some of the stuff that's out there --- but not public records. And 'invisible' costs
Privacy? No such right . . . read our Constitution . . . = nothing 'bout it
Privacy disappeared when they gave us our SSNs. And cameras are everywhere --- every phone comes with one
Short Version? . . .
. . . behave, 'cause . . .
