Street View Reaches the South Pole: Will Penguins Complain?

It's official: Google's Street View has now officially reached all seven continents. Google today announced that it has added Brazil, Ireland, and Antarctica to its Street View library, which provides panoramic images of street-level scenes from locations around the world. It's a major milestone for Google's three-and-a-half year old service, but it's not one that will be universally celebrated, as Street View is now (and has been, almost since its launch) under fire for its alleged privacy violations and data collection practices.
