Big Brother: The Google cars that will photograph EVERY front door in Britain
Posted on July 12th, 2008 by Hengest
Plans by Google to photograph millions of British homes and publish them online have been condemned as a ‘gross invasion of privacy’.
The internet giant’s StreetView website will allow anyone in the world to type in a UK address or postcode and instantly see a 360-degree picture of the street.
It will include close-ups of buildings, cars and people. Critics say the site is a ‘burglar’s charter’ that makes it easy for criminals to check out potential victims.
