[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 118497, member: 3907"] MB is right. Google Earth pictures are static images. When I look at my house, Step-D's truck (the one that up and died 3 years ago) is still parked in the driveway. The thing about privacy and tracking... There are so many ways that information is collected about us that we don't think about. For example: - If you use a credit card or a points card at a store, they gather information about your shopping pattern and the products you buy - If you go through certain neighbourhoods in Toronto, there are street-level cameras that record all passers-by. The idea is to record people who run red lights, but they also get footage of whatever else passes in front of the lens I think the point is, most of this information is never going to be used for "nefarious purposes", so I don't think it warrants adding this to your worry list. As for sunbathing nude in my backyard, I'd be more worried about my neighbour being able to see me from his second-floor windows than I would be about a spy camera for Google earth. I do think that identity theft is a real concern, but Big Brother just doesn't have time to worry about most of us. Just my $0.02 Trinity [/QUOTE]
