Big Brother's Enabler -- Google "spycars" enraging the Brits

Drudge flagged an interesting article in the British Mail Online: "Big Brother: The Google cars that will photograph EVERY front door in Britain." 

  • Seems like Google has struck a nerve in Britain, a country that normally tolerates more public surveillance than most because of such a long history with fighting terrorism.
  • The Brits appear to be deeply offended with Google's massive attempt at private surveillance.
    • It's viewed as Google needlessly making it more efficient for bad guys, terrorists, burglars, stalkers, pedophiles, etc. to find your home/hearth and more easily do private citizens harm.
    • Google is unwittingly creating a dashboard and operating system for stalkers, criminals and terrorists -- and Big Brother.   

Google is rapidly becoming George Orwell's 1984 BIG BROTHER ENABLER.

  • And how does this comport with Google's motto: "Don't be evil"?
  • I wouldn't be surprised to see neighborhoods start to organize and post signs -- Google "Spycars" Prohibited/Unwelcome.
