Guess who doesn't have their homes shown on any of the Google privacy invasion sites? All the top Google execs, that's who.....guess it is all great for the unwashed masses, but not for them. If you value your privacy you will not use any Google "service."

Why? You nude sunbathing in your backyard or something.

I'm sure none of the wealthy have their homes on Google. It's a perk of money. In Wilmington, DE, the wealthy live in their own little enclaves and none of the streets they live on have names or numbers. If you are a friend or servant, then you know where to go. If you are not then you don't need to know. I know this because my sister-in-law married into the Dupont family. The Duponts own and operate Delaware.

If I had been sunbathing nude and the camera car photographed me, I'm sure Google would have voluntarily blanked out the image... :lol:

Does it include the satellite view too? I am thinking it sounds so easy to do, someone could blank out someone else's house. I can see some kind of protest/hack movement against Google where people start blurring out everyones house so when you go to street view all you get is a blur everywhere.

The video shows the presenter "being careful" not to obscure someone else's address photos.

So, it could be a problem..
