Minnesota Town Opts-Out Of Google StreetView; Google Fights Back Against "Private Property" Claim In Another Case
I got a chuckle out of this one. It seems that Google sent their cars that do StreetView photography for Google Maps into a private neighborhood in Minnesota. That neighborhood, North Oaks, demanded that Google remove all the images. As the roads are private, Google potentially trespassed to take the pictures. Google's complied in this case. In a different one, the company is fighting back in court. From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune article about the case:

Living in North Dakota, i never thought i'd say that, but YOU ROCK NORTH OAKS! Way to prevail! Way to retain your privacy! Way To GO!
It's long been time that someone puts an end to Google's permanent, unrequested invasions! Even though this might be a minimal dent in the large machinery of Google, i hope that it sets the precedent for many others to follow.
