It seems that Sir Paul McCartney is not a fan of Google.

According to the Sun, When Sir McCartney discovered his multi-million pound house was visible on Google Street View, he consulted with his security people, and they decided it was a security risk.  They then contacted Google and asked that the house be removed from the images in the service.

Google is now saying that anyone can have their home remoed from the service by simply clicking a button, but I honestly don’t get the excitement over this.  So long as Google did not go down a private lane, and stayed only on public roads, then they aren’t showing anything that an average person can see from the street.  By removing your house, as Sir McCartney did, he actually draws more attention to himself and his property.

To each their own, but the amount of trauma having one’s home on Google Street View seems to cause some people amazes me.
