The world has officially gone crazy. A couple in the US are sing Google because they say pictures of their house that appear on Google Maps “Street view” function caused them mental suffering….oh, and devalued their property as well. According to their law suit: a "considerable sum of money" was spent and "A major component of their purchase decision was a desire for privacy."Google have offered to take the images down, but that apparently doesn’t under the damage – remember, that mental suffering part? As you can imagine, Google are a bit perplexed by the whole thing.
MyTake – Personal privacy on the web has long been an issue, but this is probably taking it a bit too far. The nature of the web today allows for a high-level of collaboration and we’re all able to help content that directly affects us, we shouldn’t abuse that.
