Google doesn't seem to care about your privacy...
SMH is
reporting about Google's imminent launch of "Street View" in Australia.
Richard Chirgwin points
out the spineless journalism that let quotes like the following through to
the keeper:
Still reeling from the backlash by privacy activists after Street View began in the US last year, Ms Mayer said Google was developing technology to blur faces and number plates but she did not know whether it would be ready in time for the Australian launch.
My response to that would be: if the technology is coming you should wait for it and avoid the snafus in the first place.
