"Residents in the village of Broughton, Buckinghamshire felt so strongly about what they called an intrusion of privacy that last year they formed a human chain to block a Google camera vehicle from driving down their streets. Google has taken steps to blur images of faces and car registrations. The company also provides a 'report a problem' button on the Street View website for users to flag up inappropriate or sensitive images to be reviewed and removed. This allows anyone to ask that images of themselves, their car or their house are erased from the service." http://www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/fpfalmouth/5057113.Google_Street_View_coverage_expands_to_cover_most_of_Cornwall/ -- Martinus Scriblerus scripsit ex 50º 21' N, 4º41' W -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
