Google Photos Stir a Debate Over Privacy - New York Times
A woman got all in a tizzy because you can see her cat in the window when you zoom in on her apartment. So, she asked Google to take the photo off.
I'm not exactly sure why people are concerned about privacy here. If your window is open (or, at least there are no shades drawn) then people can look in, and photos can be taken. But, the funniest thing about this is that nobody knew about her or her cat, now she causes a stir and everyone knows her name, address, etc... It seems like if you were going to complain about privacy, you should do it privately.
