Google Earth under threat of being banned

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Google has been recently targeted once again for security violations. A group of Japanese lawyers and professors have warned Google to stop providing their street view service of various Japanese cities. They have also asked Google to delete the saved images with Google.

According to Yasuhiko Tajima, a professor from the Sophia University of Tokyo has told that they consider this as a deep violation of the basic human rights of Japanese. They consider it highly important to warn the society against the violation of privacy rights by an IT giant in an open manner. The privacy rights are the most important rights of citizens and the service of Google should not be a threat to these rights.

A campaign was conducted by the Japanese civilian group headed by Tajima. This wanted Google to stop the services of Street View from Japan. There have been recent cases filed against Google Earth and Wikimapia. These cases warn that through these websites, viewers are provided very detail and minute photographs and navigational coordinates of places.

This warning and ban of Google Earth and Street View might end up their services in various countries following this. Because of security constraints and issues, these could be banned in various countries.

Majority of lawyers and university professors from Japan had clubbed together to raise their protest against the IT giant Google and as far as their thoughts and policies are concerned, Google is publicly violating the very fundamental right of an individual and the citizens have to make their each and every routine step thinking that they all are continuously monitored by an IT force of the world, which basically is a denial of free living and survival.

Japanese submissions

Of course, English as a language is widely accepted as the language of the internet. However, what do you do when you get an enormous number of submissions in other languages? When the Sphinn social news site was launched, this problem plagued everyone. What was one supposed to do with the Japanese submissions? Maybe for English speaking internet readers this problem didn’t look quite as huge but truth is how was all the spam that got submitted to be monitored. Traffic congestion and mismatches were likely.

Thanks to Kenichi Suzuki, and developer Sera Hiroyuki, now you can breathe a sigh of relief because Sphinn Japan is here, a great step in the SEO world that’s going to help channelize things. It also does pave the way for the development of other foreign language inclusions in mainstream site building and submissions.

It’s a global scenario now; certainly the SEO and online marketing opportunities are likely to increase encompassing a much larger audience.
