Love these guys. It’s the EU crew thinking twice about Googies image generation of ciudads the world over. Just like a few in the USA got concerned about privacy concerns on Googs doin a 360 street view, the EU is a bit concerned too. Not surprising, but will they stop or block Googs from oing it and with such legislation would it be harder for the EU to chastize China? ouch,. I especially love this quote which makes it sound serious:
“Google Maps and a related computer-based service called Google Earth have drawn criticism from a variety of countries for providing images of sensitive locations, such as military bases or potential targets of terror attacks.”
It is serious, no doubt, not to make light of it, but this is part of the future of how the global community interacts, what is defined as a right and in turn a possiblity is to be discussed and yet discussed again –
where do the lines blur with this new tech a deck do! One of the articles covering this story is on Reuters.
