Google Map Image Blurs



This Picture From


   I do believe that in most inappropriate situations blurring images is a necessity.  Although in some situations the need of blurring images is not relevant, such as on the Google Maps website. Many images that Google Maps blurs are historic places and streets in foreign countries. I believe that it is not necessary to blur these places because the United States has pictures of all of these places. Another reason I am against blurring images of historic places on Google Maps is because the owners of Google do not conference with United States citizens for permission to place the owner's house on the Internet for all eyes to view. Google Maps does check with the government for permission to place their historic landmarks on the Internet. Why do United State's citizens not get any say in the matter of their home being put on the Internet for anyone to see if they have a connection to the Internet or a computer? Many people do not have a problem with this small issue until they have come to a deep thought about it or they are in a predicament about the said website with their child being in danger of someone who found them on Google Maps. Images being blurred/unblurred are a great factor in our society and people should be more careful on what is going on the Internet.
