V. 閱讀測驗 10%When people want to visit a place they are unfamiliar with in a city, Street View onGoogle Maps can be an invaluable tool. People can have a look at the location they’re going toand its surrounding area from the comfort of their homes. Sometimes, however, Street Viewhas captured more than expected. A few of the images are downright disturbing. In Chicago,Street View captured one man shooting at another. A couple in Arkansas was upset to discovertheir house on fire on Street View. When they asked Google to remove this picture, it raised aserious question: Is Street View an invasion of privacy? Google believes that it is providing animportant service to the public, and the company maintains that all of the photos used in StreetView have been taken from public property.
