You can hardly talk about Google Maps Street View without the issue of privacy filed a suit against Google back in April for posting images of their home (which is located down a private access road) on Street View. Now there is an uproar in Sonoma and Humboldt Counties, California over the same issue. Google is being accused of driving down over 100 of these private roads in just one county.
Video from Larry Yu even told local paper the Press Democrat "Our policy is to not drive on private land." So is it the fault of these third party drivers? Google seems to have no problem posting the images obtained by them.
Google's whole philosophy on the matter is that if you don't like the images you see on Street View, report them, and then after review, they will decide if your beef is a legitimate one. If it is deemed so, they will take the necessary measures. In other words, simply opt-out.
But as
That's an age that Google seems to have left in the past.
