In this world of near zero privacy, I'm glad someone is out there looking out for our personal interests, and not just the interests of corporations. You can say I'm a tree-hugging, bleeding-heart liberal for saying that, but screw it - I don't want Google to use my image without me giving them permission. That doesn't seem terribly unreasonable to me. If there's a picture of me on Google Street View walking next to some hottie and my girlfriend sees it, I don't wanna deal with that shitstorm. I really don't think it's too much to ask that I have some control over how my image is used on the internet. There is too much room for inappropriate use for us as citizens to give up this basic privacy. Besides, they have imaging technology these days that can simply remove people from the images... Use that! I actually agree with these “busybody” privacy rights organizations.
