The House Committee on Science and Technology's subcommittee on investigations and oversight on Friday asked Google Inc. Chairman and CEO Eric Schmidt to explain why his company is using the outdated imagery.The subcommittee cited an Associated Press report on the images."Google's use of old imagery appears to be doing the victims of Hurricane Katrina a great injustice by airbrushing history," subcommittee chairman Brad Miller, D-N.C., wrote in a letter to Schmidt."
Swapping the post-Katrina images and the ruin they revealed for others showing an idyllic city dumbfounded many locals and even sparked suspicions that the company and civic leaders were conspiring to portray the area's recovery progressing better than it is.
Thats a dirty deal. We can always rely on the big corporations to do the right thing. :smt011Do you actually think Google would slip up like this? The whole google earth and maps is so chopped up anyways i wouldn't trust much off of it. I guarantee that all images are pre-screened and modified before they are released to the public. Didn't google just got in trouble here like a week ago or so for modifying New Orleans or something?
