Google has apologised after its Street View photo mapping service showed a frontal view of a naked child on a family day out.
Images of the blond boy, aged four or five, went live on Thursday in an update for the service.
They pictured him with his trousers down after going to the toilet on Wimbledon Common, South-West London.
The photos, showing the child's mother or nanny helping him dress and a man looking on, have sparked fears that paedophiles will have a new way to search for photos or targets online.
Google had blurred the child's face but not the registration plate of the family's car, making it possible to trace their address.
The photos were removed soon after Google was alerted yesterday.
But they are further ammunition for critics of Street View, branded a 'burglar's charter' when it launched last year.
The service caused controversy then with images of a naked toddler and people leaving sex shops or vomiting in public.
Privacy campaigners slammed Google yesterday. Alex Deane, of Big Brother Watch, said: 'Where there's one example like this, there will be many others.'
A Google spokesman said: 'We apologise for any inadvertent concern this may have caused.'
He said there were online tools so users could report inappropriate images immediately.[/quote]
This is once too much. Google should be outlawed and merged under some more lawful company like Microsoft.
Showing that the family has a small boy with a penis is completely unacceptable and makes them practically helpless against all pedophiles in the world. I pray for them.
So what streets are there children on? :q:

Yeah I mean burglars are going to just use StreetView now because the photos are up to date.

Houses don't typically move around and home owners don't usually move the placement of their doors and windows around at random.

This isn't The Sims.
I hate computer illiterate people who find out about Google Streetview.
I mean, a few days ago, my history teacher was talking about Nazi Germany, how the government had so much control that ordinary people were scared to speak out against them even in their own homes, and she said something like "google streetview - now, the government can look through your window!" or something...
I just shook my head and quietly convinced my friends that she was talking bullshit.
Sense,
This makes none of it.

Wasn't there an exact website called "Google Streetview" in Orwell's 1984? we're all doomed :downs:
See, the funny part is that Google doesn't constantly drive by places that don't change as far as layout goes, so that picture could be a few years old. My house on streetview has a tree that's now been gone for three years still in the DB.

I'm willing to bet the government has stuff in space that could not only see through my window, but pull a finger print from somewhere and then kill me from low orbit. Streetview is probably child's play to them.
[editline]yeah[/editline]
6000 posts goddam
This is coming from the Daily Mail. everything they write should be taken with an ocean of salt or just ignored altogether. The later is usually more helpful.

6000 posts goddam[/QUOTE]Would be pretty damn difficult to get a good view though an average house's window using a satellite, i'd think. Either it's at an angle in orbit at which no other buildings block it's line of sight but most of what you see is the floor, or it's low enough an angle with which you can see all inside, if not for something blocking the view.

That really happened, and was in other news sources. I just picked Daily Mail for the OP because I am too lazy to write it on my own.
in other news: alarmists having field day with google maps edge-case

Oh my god the same things can happen in other places too stop the presses

Well sure there's factors, but I mean the necessary optics and equipment exist without a doubt.
Man, I love the street view. They actually captured me and my friends skating down the street near my house on it. Of course they'll catch stupid shit on camera, it's not their fault though. It's stupid people's fault.
Mars show me where you live :)
Attack of the killer blocks!

But yeah, that's me and my friends after some minor censorship.
That's one hell of an ironic twist.
Wow, it's not like the kids are frozen in time and just waiting to get abducted by a pedophile in that very spot. By this logic, you shouldn't be able to drive down the street or you'll see children that are possible abduction targets. This incident is going to spark some retarded "CENSOR EVERYWUN" movement.

Just put a burglar alarm on the outside of your house and the burglar gets caught the moment he shows up.
FYI for everyone not in the UK: The Daily Mail is basically a trollpaper when it comes to anything technological. They're heavily conservative. Consider them the FOX NEWS of newspapers
My dad's friend, who died in October, always hated stuff like this. Ironically enough, he is immortalised on it, walking down the street with some shopping.
My friend found a toy rocket being launched once.
Wow, this is fucking stupid.
Hey let's get naked without closing our windows on important streets and then act enraged at someone for seeing us.

Oh my god. I have a conspiracy theorist history teacher too. I thought I was the only one. It's like something you'd see in a sitcom.
