Over millions of people are using website Google. People even usually say “Googling” which means that they surfer on the internet. There are many services on this website, such as finding direction, website, book, or weather. Street View is one of the services on website Google. We cannot deny that it is a very useful service. For example, we can preview the road condition that we want to go; also, we are able to understand and to learn the way of destination the direction is complicated to find. Sometimes, the address does not indicate what I want to find in the map. However, if we know this service, Street View, we can notice before.
On the other hand, there is a critical problem on Google’s street view, which is privacy. By using this, we can see anywhere we want; it does not matter it is even a private property, important military spot, or sensitive establishment, hospital, prison, or women’s shelter. According to Ella in Techno News, “A Swiss court has ruled that Google is breaching citizens’ right to privacy with its Street View service and should take greater steps to obscure people caught by its cameras.” According to Daniel, this service might be able to invade the possibility of “Potential tourists” to show the region on the internet. Other countries, France and Israel, are also afraid that the Street View provides information to terrorists.
Of course, Google’s Street view makes our lives more convenient and easy. However, I am questioning that “Do we have to use this service to just get temporary easiness?” “Aren’t we living without this?” I think Google Corporation has to consider about privacy problem on the service.
