Dead Bodies Showing Up on Street View Brazil
This article contained images which some readers may find upsetting, for their safety, I decide not to include them. Therefore, they are still viewable here .
-------------------------------------------
After the announcement of the “Street view” program’s launching by the Google Company in Brazil, Ireland and Antarctica, while the Google’s camera was traveling through Belo Horizonte streets, in the State of Minas., some pictures of a crime scene had been taken. In Praça Noronha Santos, in Rio de Janeiro, another dead person was appearing into the Google cameras. Following Gizmodo, it was a man hurter to death by a car. Unfortunately It is a fact, users reported more and more those kind of pictures and as soon as they are highlighted by Street view users, Google deleted them.
There are two points in this article that I would like to discuss on. First of all, these kinds of pictures do not have to be found on the Web. There is children surfing on internet and that pictures can shocked even elder persons. I am aware that it is hard to look in details every single picture but if you decide to realize a project of that amplitude you need to use the biggest means. Then the fact that Google deleted these pictures is actually a good think even if it is a bit late but this, I hope, does not mean that the case is classed, as for Google than for the police

Internet is a big world, and it is true that they are kids surfing on the internet, and this kind of pictures are really bad for them to watch. But there is every kind of bad things on the internet. I consider that parents must be aware of what their children are watching on the internet. Even though in some cases, we must admit that is not possible being 100% checking what your child is watching.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Hamadoun, the fact that Google deleted the images it is a good thing, because people are not going to get to watch that kind of rough scenes, that I am sure that much of the people do not want to see.

Almost everywhere there is a debate about the content of internet .Is it more harmful than useful? We are oblige to admit that internet is has a big place in the rising of our child and personnaly i will be very upset to learn that, on a site like Google Steetview which is a very popular site for every age, my child can see picture that could chock even elder persons.

ReplyDeleteI think Google is doing the right thing. Nowadays, because of the easy access to internet, it's easy for everyone of us to get more information on every corner of the world. But, it also helps inappropriate information, like porn or bloody pictures, go everywhere in cyber world. Someone has to stop it, and Google's movement is definitely right.
