privacy in the age of the internet

[Guest guest]

Hello forum members:

Do you live in a major city?

How would you feel if your home or workplace or a (suposedly) altered photo of

you or your family was displayed on the internet for millions of potential

viewers to see??

about this new 'service.'

Personally I would not want pictures of my home or self to be displayed for all

to see.

Later I'll post more thoughts on this topic.

I find it discouraging. But in today's world, most people think it's a " KEWL "

idea. So it is here to stay whether we want it or not.

Major city or not, blurred photos or not, I really don't feel it's anybody's

business other than my own (and the authorities if they feel the need to be

informed) as to where I am and where I go and I don't appreciate the thought of

having my home easily viewed for thieves to survey as they plan their next break

and enter or home invasion.

I forgot to add this little question: Will we be able to successfully sue

Google if it can be proven that their little camera gizmo was partly responsible

for an increase in child abductions by non-custodial parents bent on revenge

against their former partners?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Hi Raven;

to your comments about break ins and abductions, I will add:

or people who fled an abusive situation, made a new life for themselves, and now their abuser knows where they are,

or someone who has a rare breed of dog or cat; and a photo of their yard and house with animal in yard is posted for the world to see....

or someone who is later targeted for a hate crime because a photo is posted of them enjoying their own property and a bigot now knows where someone of their ethnic group lives....
