Unleashed: Watching them watching us: "Perhaps we deserve the intrusion of Street View. Perhaps this home invasion will make us rethink the uploading of our secrets."
Working things out retrospectively is never easy. An ounce of prevention, isn't it? This is well worth a read because Google Streetview has been the talk of the town here and some people see it as no worse that a car driving past , some see it as sinister and others think it is going to put us at risk. We are having everything tagged, nailed and documented. We are being scrutinised and coded faster than we can think about it. We are pushed into divulging names, numbers and addresses on web sites for registration. We are told we have to give this information for our protection. Then we find out we are scammed, phished or sucked in in some way. We are photographed and our homes are photographed. We have no say in this. We have asked for no say in this. We have just blithely carried on in a very powerless fashion. It is bullying. We were not asked. Nothing was negotiated. The implications are worrying because we are not allowed to be our own private selves any more and anyone is entitled to our information.
