Google Removes Many Images From StreetView

A lot of the fun and embarrassing images we found in Google Maps StreetView are no more, as Google has removed them presumable to protect the privacy of those individuals. Shame.
The thong in the truck? Gone.
The guy peeing on the side of the road? Gone.
I wonder what else they’ve gotten to?
Well, at least there’s always Borat peaking out of a window.
Interestingly, Google makes sure not to take pictures of homeless people and abortion clinics, pre-scrubbing these photos to the best of its abilities. So, advertisements for Microsoft are treated with as much sensitivity as the homeless? That’s nice to know.
