Essay: Privacy in the Age of Google Street View

Hi guys,
This is an essay I have written last semester for my Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues in Information Technology course. I choose the topic Google Street View because I always wondered how risky having such a tool publicy free online. Mind you, I can’t live without it because a) I can drive from point A to B at ease without it. b) I can actually see how the building/home/etc looks like before I get there. However, all that for the risk of privacy? I hope this essay helps others who are interested to know more about it.
