Google finds itself in a row with the pentagon over “street view” where “by accident” Google street view went around fort Sam Huston taking street level pictures. This is not the first time that street view has been in trouble, but this is the first time that the pentagon has gotten involved. Like they need more problems after the puppy marines video that has disgusted a large segment of the population.
This picture is what will get everyone in trouble. The interesting part to all this, is like all attempts at shutting down information on the Internet, this one is going to be discussed, make the news, and drive yet more traffic and more notice on the idea that someone for whatever reason is trying to censor information on the Internet.
What is laughable on this one is that the Pentagon provides their own PDF map of Fort Sam Huston right here.
Controversy seems to dog Google Street view, with sites like Mashable showing off the top 15 Google street view easter egg’s.
Thank you to the Register for providing irony and background information on this article.
