Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
India
rejects Google Street View plan over security concerns
No
street view? Indeed, there isn’t any in India’s google map. Is that because
mighty Google hasn’t done the job yet? Actually, they are eager to do it but the
permission was not granted by the government due to security concerns. Does
that mean the countries where there is no Google street view unsafe or is there
any other reason such as privacy or economy that blocks Google’s services?
In fact,
you might be surprised to find the fact that there is no street view in Google
map in China, Egypt, Myanmar or Venezuela, while their comparative countries like
Russia, Turkey, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Columbia are all covered.
So what
are the rationales to be or not to be? Don’t they want to invite more foreign
tourists and investment? Is the risk of showing street view so different by
country?
Enjoy
reading and thinking what makes the government say yes or no to street view.
