Quote of the Week

“You could say that the city is showing common sense in not trying to take a useless step.”

Professor Ralph Stein, who tracks Homeland Security issues at Pace University, on New York City’s decision not to blur images of the area in Google Maps. He made the comment in yet another Google Maps censorship story this time at WCBS-TV. In addition to this statement, the TV station provided another valuable statement:

“Google uses images from a state database, which is why Westchester was able to censor them. Yahoo! Images come from a private sector company.”
