how is whats inside of my garage is public? how is whats in my backyard is public? maybe in tranny land it is, but not here.

people who live around me not, some fucktard from internet forum yes.

Like someone pointed out before some people live on private roads. Those are not public places.

It can't be long now til people run outta stuff to complain about.

Well apparently being in public isn't a good enough reason to put someone's front door on the internet...

Google is considering a Canadian launch of its Street View map feature, which offers street-level close-ups of city centers, but would blur people's faces and vehicle license plates to respect tougher Canadian privacy laws, the Web search firm said on Monday.

Canada's privacy commissioner told Google in August that the feature--which offers a series of panoramic, 360-degree images of nine U.S. cities--could violate Canadian laws if it were introduced without alterations.

Some of the pictures feature people who can clearly be identified, which contravenes Canadian legislation on privacy.

"We are thinking about launching it outside the United States, including Canada, and we're looking at how it would have to be different in Canada compared to its U.S. version," said Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel.

Based on how much you post here to draw attention, I can draw tell that you are not a stranger to that.

So you feel more risk and concern from digital strangers that most likely will never visit you let alone randomly, compared to total local strangers which would be much more likely and prone to rob or invade your stuff?

They can still be viewed from the public. Few exceptions unless usiing angles as well. For instance there is a large gated community by me that has its own airspace as well. So only minimal amounts would be open to public view from an off angle in the air.

No, I don’t want pictures of my house, my car, me mowing yard on the fucking internet. If I wanted that I would name myself Juicy Links or Baddog and post it on the forum.

You are correct, this place is loaded with your peers. What is your point?

So google already stated they planned on properly dealing with Canadian privacy laws. Eek the horrors of such an evil company.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

I wonder if we can see the street riots in Montreal last Monday? Anyone know what Google Maps' posting delay is?

lol

Mockba arnt you in Canada where Ellie just posted about?

my point is you need to get a life old man..stop throwing your 2cents in every topic. especially when they are all semi-retarded one line comments

^ WHAT HE SAID

Would you like a cup of shut the fuck up and pack of Viagra?

no, Im in fucking states right now, and I don't like this shit a bit. Maybe its ok with old dog but its not OK with me.

What he said is you’re too stupid to take a look at page one of this thread and see it yourself.

You can only do the street view in the USA and some parts of Canada. It wont let you do it over Europe or other countries

btw didn't Google tell the US gov to go fuck itself when they asked for all that surf data?

If the Google 360cam catches you beating your girlfriend through an open window and someone spots it on street view... too bad, you should've shut the blinds. i say it's admissible.

Oh, fucking great. So if I’m having sex with my girlfriend and it ends up on some website its perfectly OK?

Dude, did you vote for Bush? Because if you did, you asked for zero privacy anyhow.

You live in a country that has given up a few of these personal privacy priviledges for the sake of some false security concept and I feel bad for the good people I know over there who have to deal with it.

But take it from me, no one will give a fuck if one month's street view shows you or mowing your lawn... and from what I've seen they're blurring faces anyhow.

They're not blurring plates though, but then again who cares... unless you weren't supposed to be on the misstress's street when you said you were at the dentist's.

But then, this stuff isn't dated... again, what is the biggie?

Property owners own all the air space they can use above their property. Since google has proven that the owner can use space above their homes to take pictures google does not have the right to use that space anymore.

At least that is what some people are saying.

Why don't you wait until you have a girlfriend before you start worrying about that. And shut your blinds when you do get to that point.

The eyes can not trespass.

I am sorry . . . . what?

so if im caught whacking off and it ends up on line would i be the one held responsible for no 2257?

goood thing you don’t have to worry about shutting you blinds in your apartment. Besides, nobody, and I mean not even google bot, whats to see that thing you fucking.
PS: why don’t post your address here dog so we can all check it out you crib..

Well, there was a couple in Florida who were having sex in the privacy of their home.

There was a neighbourhood kid who peeped through a crack in the curtains and saw them.

He went and told his dad.

His dad came over with a video camera (peeping all along through that space in the curtains).

Apparently they were prosecuted for corrupting a minor or indecent exposure or some shit.

I can understand your concern.

However if the Google 360cam can spot your pumping butt from the middle of a street through a window, it might just be due to the fact that maybe you want to expose yourself?

someone is angry.

Can you please explain this to bicycle retard who thinks he’s the founder of Hells Angels?

now fuck I am...

Sorry, didn't know such a thing as street view existed, thought you were talking about the normal google maps.

the street view is questionable also if its used to sell ads.

How does Google maps generate a current on st image of a address? Not sure how the hell they do it!

For example if you type in a st address on Google it will show you at st level what that st looks like almost like your looking threw a windshield of a car.

I feel these street-view images are terrible. You can see it so clear! whether in the street or in the homes. As I know they drive a van with a whole bunch of video cameras down every street, so we can then view the images online. Oh! I hope to be the driver, that's easy job. :)

I didn't mean that Google was evil. I meant that the "it's in public so it can be published" argument isn't neccessarily the only correct or sane or acceptable answer.

Dude, what I'm saying is if you do it in public you're doing it in public.

Don't close your blinds? It's YOUR fault you get seen... especially by Google Cam - have you tried peeping into the windows on Haight Ashbury in San Fran on the Google Maps Streetview?!?! Or anywhere? If you get seen you're working it man.

And if you just get seen by a dozen people walking by, well you just might get busted for being a profligate exhibitionist.

Sonny Barger there (sorry, I mean, Baddog) is right - it's no big deal.

But I'm Canadian and I live in a country where there's a measure of restraint in even public exposure/media coverage and "security" monitoring.

And even so, I don't think this Googlecam business is such a big deal.

You don't wear a hood when you mow your lawn? You don't need anonymity? You mow the thing because you want it to look good PUBLICALLY, right?

It's not violation of privacy because it's not 24/7 or monitoring - it's a snapshot.

If it was dated and it caught you parked at your girlfriend's while your wife was in labor, it means your a shithead.

.


You live in the USA.

All I can say is that I really wouldn't care. For the most part it's stuff that everyone walking down the street could easily see.

Ok, thanks for your contributions, especially to baddog.. Fuck you all, I’m going back to my Molson Ice and hockey games. See you in 1 hour.

Wll explain how it is a violation of privacy...
