I have one thing to say to this man who sued google: HOW DO YOU THINK CELEBRITIES FEEL???? Google is not unjustified in taking pictures of the streets. It's public territory and without it, we wouldn't have tools such as google maps. This man simply got caught while he was making an unfortunate choice. It would be unfair to make fun of him for this, considering we all make mistakes, and everybody gets in trouble sometimes. However, people must be more aware of how technology has the power to expose almost anything.
This goes back to the idea of watching what you put on facebook, who photographs you and who you trust. It's one thing to have someone take a picture of you walking on a public street; it's not like google put a hidden camera in your home! A public street is public property! You can't be too careful, and maybe this will urge people to think twice before they make their decisions. This man will probably think twice before judging someone like Mel Gibson, Hugh Grant and the long list of ladies and gentlemen who have been caught on camera doing something they were not proud of, only to have their personal flaws exposed to for all critical eyes to see.

I appreciate the strength you communicated in your perspective.
ReplyDeleteIn 1984 (the book), this was a reason why "Big Brother" kept watch, to keep society in check. In China, you may be asked by the government why you're surfing to certain websites. While few people would think what this guy was up to was satisfactory, I am not certain others would be happy getting their moral fiber from a fear of getting caught.
On the other hand, we might all learn to relax a little, too.
