Mind you, if Google did it in France they'd probably need Model Release Forms for everyone photographed!

Imagine if they printed that as a headline confession. Disgusting example of many things wrong with certain threads of UK mindset. Why I cannot come home from my European exile. Daily Mail: makes neither sensible reading, fire lighting material of toilet paper. Oh yeah..dont forget to read page 5 for your daily fix of gay hate and self righteous clergy governance. “Daily Mail breeds fear and hate”. Imagine if they printed that as a headline confession.

I can't wait to see if I can see myself looking out of my window!! Some people will complain about anything, personally, I think it's a great initiative - I just hope Google get permission to let it go live despite all the techno-phobes complaining.
