Privacy (google street view)

- Google address potential privacy concerns that images of Street View is not different than what you might see driving down or walking on the street. These images are not allow to use for personally. Also Google mentioned that if images contain objectionable content, people can report to google with responses. For Google Street view, some people may like it or not. I agree with their response but they have to take care about images. When I look at the stree view, I can see that they try to take an image of street. As they said, these images are what we saw when we are driving. For example, when we drive a car on the street, we can see people out there, so it is hard to take a picture without people. I think these images can show on the Street View. However, some images are not. I saw many pictures on the web which are not capable to be shown on the Stree View. For exmaple, one picture shows inside of a house when we zoom in it. There are several pictures that people may does not like it. Therefore if google take care images more carefully, the Street View will help us a lot.
