Bent over, the man displays his bare bottom directly into the camera lens. Though he may have made something of a scene, the man remains anonymous. Not only is his face hidden due to the way


he is standing, but Google Maps Street view also utilises special blurring technology to instantly conceal the identity of people captured by its cameras. In its Maps privacy policy, the


tech giant explains: "Google takes a number of steps to protect the privacy of individuals when Street View imagery is published to Google Maps. "We have developed cutting-edge


face and license plate blurring technology that is designed to blur identifiable faces and license plates within Google-contributed imagery in Street View."
