GOOGLE UNDER PRESSURE FROM GOVERNMENTS TO REMOVE SENSITIVE IMAGES

1.In launching google earth software all the sensitive areas of the world were also mapped and to include even White House.

2.Govenments of numerous countries have expressed their displeasure for the same and google is doing the needful to satisfy the countries.

3.Google blurred White House image and same can be done for all other important installations.

4.India is equally pained as its Rashtrapati Bhavan and Nuclear Installations have been put up on the web to preying eyes of terrorist elements.

5.Google in its defence says that such images are available from 20 different agencies and thus by it putting the same on the net do not infringe any security lapses but in my opinion same donot hold defence as it is bringing the sensitive information free of cost to anti social elements/hawkish countries without any supervision.

6.Let their be responsible conduct from Google by cooperating with all countries and addressing their problems.Through this blog I request Google to remove all the sensitive areas for any country from its Google Earth.
