I agree with rdawise. There is no privacy in public. Perfect example is if you're having sex in public then you're being far from discreet about it.

So what's the Big Ucking Deal?

 

[haplo602]

so they went to a newspaper with the story ... I guess they were not concerned about their privacy ... not even an interesting story ... just maybe for the fact that the google folks were too stupid to stop for a few minutes and let her walk away ...

You're saying The Sun isnt reliable?!

/sarcasm

There is no such thing as privacy on the Internet.

 

[lowguppy]

Privacy? The person is walking around in a public place. Hint: People can see you! That and she saw that the thing had a big camera on it, so its not like its secretly photographing anyone.

 

[tommysch]

The Sun should NEVER be used as a source, never.

 

[smashley]

Was she standing on a corner in each shot?

 

[pencapsL]

"According to Softpedia, 55-year old Terry was actually looking for images of himself"

.... Why?

 

[fisshy]

Sigh... Slow people. I hope they don't go and try sue Google now.

 

[todd_dfw]

sooooo if they are concerned about appearing on the internet why are they not complaining about the Sun having a close up her????

[citation][nom]RazberyBandit[/nom]Apparently only if you go outdoors while there's some car with a big old gigantic camera mounted high atop it creeping through your neighbourhood, then proceed to walk beside it while ignoring the police car following it...[/citation]

Now why didn't she saw it coming (sarcasm)
(Oh wait, she's just slow.)

Why would there be a police car following it? When I saw the google car, there were no police around it.

Naturally Google performed its privacy duties by blurring out her face, however now she's been exposed to the world thanks to The Sun.

They did not blur out Trixie the dog's face. Yet no one cries for her. Jerks.

if you are out in the public your really have no privacy...you want privacy!!! then stay the phuck home...retard

I agree that there is no privacy in public to a point. Its a different matter being recorded on the street than in a private business (i.e. bank). Of course government building also have security cameras (libraries, police stations, etc).

But you do realize that the government will eventually install cameras in most public places (and they have in many cities). Eventually this could and probably will lead to cameras on all residential streets. You may say that "I have nothing to hide so I don't care", but I personally don't want my every move to be monitored.

My only hope is that there just won't be enough manpower to monitor all of the data (until our AI programming gets better anyways).

On a positive note, during the Vancouver olympics hundreds of public security cameras were installed and monitored by police. After the games were finished, the police requested that the cameras be left in place, but the mayor refused (citing citizen privacy concerns) and the cameras were taken down. For once a politician actually cares more about the people than increasing government control.

I'm ok with banks video taping me. But if the bank then posted that video on the internet, I'd be pretty uncomfortable about that.
