With time as the x axis, I see a downward slope in this metric.
In some relatively small number of years, you'll have a drone the size of a mosquito which can fly to the home and take incredible high-resolution 3D-captures, all while either evading the hypothetical security or, more likely, blending in with existing drone noise.
At that time, how meaningful will be the difference between gleaning information about the appearance of a publicly viewable object by direct optical intake or by some 'virtual' mechanism?
- dangerlibrary 12y agoDrones don't fly very far. It may be possible to rent one, but now you've introduced a third party that could be compelled to redact the images, as Google has been. So to view the house anonymously from far way / another country, you'd still need to travel to some place nearby. You're right that it's no longer symmetric, but it's far more expensive than a free and anonymous Google search.
