Pentagon Banned Google...

Google Inc. has been banned by the Pentagon because of the pictures it publishes to the internet. Those controversial images have been a threat to U.S. military bases. The Pentagon then had requested Google to remove selected images that can be a risk to the bases.

According to Larry Yu the spokesman of Google that they were contacted by the military for the request of removing some images they have posted and with the response for their request they then immediately accommodated it.  

The images worry the Pentagon because of the views of the bases including its security that are established in the bases. Some of the security measures are also shown in the images. The Defense Department is still studying how many images are available. And for this they banned Google teams from taking video images on bases.

Google Maps feature ground level, 360 degree views of streets in 30 U.S. cities. In this, Google Maps, surfers are then able to drive down a street virtually using the mouse to adjust the views of the scenery. This feature has become popular especially to those people who are in trip to an unfamiliar place. But, this also lead to be a privacy invasion of the people captured in the images and now a threat to the U.S. military.

But Google then disputes that the only images captures are those images that are only visible from the public roads. And with this Google draw criticism from countries that they provide sensitive images, such as military bases that are potential targets of terror attacks.
