For instance, if you go to google map, you can only zoom in so close.

All of this happened because of the law suit that the public made to the Assoc. of Realtors holding a proprietary site of our MLS. This is something that Realtors started and have paid for since the beginning. And when the public lawsuit came about, we had to share it with the public. We do withhold confidential information but all the rest is transparent now and we still pay for the public to be able to see it. This is an age of transparency but I agree with you, that this information that may put homeowners at risk. And once on the Internet it stays forever! It’s fascinating that you bring this up.

Satellite imagery is definitely making our lives less private. And yes, it may end up being abused by unscrupulous people. However, as imagery gets better and better and we not only start seeing people mowing the lawn but also if they are clean shaven or not. That there will become an even greater concern. Less privacy means more control which may or may not be a good thing. Hey, not only will we be able to detect the zit on Jessica's forehead but we will also see snapshots of potential terrorists. So control does bring with it more safety. I'm still uncertain about whether or not I like this idea, though. You are absolutely right. Satellite imagery is certainly making our lives less private.

That there will become an even greater concern. Less privacy means more control which may or may not be a excellent thing.

I’m still uncertain about whether or not I like this thought, though.
