Google cars going around in Japan with cameras mounted on top have met opposition from many Japanese who complained that the pictures taken for the Google Maps Street View were too revealing. Tudor Vieru, Softpedia Science Editor, writes “that the cameras mounted on Google’s cars were too elevated, allowing them to peer over fences, and into people’s yards and other private spaces. Japan joins Greece in its disapproval of Google Street View photos, and also the UK, where citizens have voiced numerous concerns about their privacy.”
