Take Me Off Google Street View: McCartney

Ex-Beatle's home removed after complaint

Share

(Newser) – Add Paul McCartney to the list of people who are freaked out by Google Street View. The Internet giant removed the former Beatle’s multimillion-dollar London abode after his security team complained, the Sun reports. “He was unsettled when he heard Google users could get a 360-degree view of the property,” a source says. A Google spokesperson said anyone can now remove his or her house by clicking a button.

How completely ridiculous... if anyone already has your address, they can see your house much better than 'street view' anytime they want. This simply means that Paul is technically challenged and doesn't understand anything about it. Reply

Can you seriously blame the guy for wanting to lower the odds?

It's intrusive and unnecessary. Google is the new Microsoft. Reply
