Israel Concerned About Street View

Google is working with a team of Israeli Cabinet ministers to find a way to block sensitive areas from being identified using Street View.

Critics argue the images could reveal people in places they don't want to be seen or doing things that might be embarrassing. Also, Google said last year that its vehicles had inadvertently collected computer data from Wi-Fi networks. The issue has created a special dilemma in Israel, a country that is known as an international high-tech powerhouse but where the public is on constant alert for attacks by Palestinian militants.
