Why is it controversial? If it has to do with people and privacy, they were at an ESRI conference I went to and they said they would be removing them.

It's controversial because Google just takes it too far:

I'm in one of the new cities, and you can now see into my living room. Kick ass. If I had more crap to care about, I guess I should have left the blinds drawn. The photo's pretty fresh too, had to be taken like 1-2 months ago.

HOLYMOGWAI: Which conference was that?
My reaction was sort of the same as yours: 'Why is it controversial?' - Some people might think Google is 'going too far', but this is the tip of the ice-berg compared to the high-resolution imagery already available to some authorities (that most people don't know about!)
