Google has been asked not to be published in Google Earth too detailed images of U.S. military bases. The request, directly from the game Pentagon, seeking to ensure safety at the military junta is following the viewing of images considered too close to the base Fort Sam Houston in Texas.
General Gene Renuart , head of U.S. Northern Command, has shown concern at the level of detail with which the service Street View allows you to see the base in question, offering a 360-degree view of the area. "Show now where guards are located. Shows that the gates may open and close. Show how to enter and exit from buildings, "said Renuart. "I think that this is a real risk to the safety of our military installations."
The Pentagon reported promptly to the risks and Google expects full cooperation from the search engine to remove the vision of military installations from the Street View service. The collection of sensitive information relating to military bases however, is already contrary to policies adopted by the search engine . How is it possible that this happened? Google speaks of an error. "We have been contacted by the military," said Google spokesman Larry Yu, "and we accepted their demands in those areas in which they expressed complaints about the images.
