A new feature - Google Maps Street View - now available to see what's happening in parts of San Fransisco, New York, Los Vegas, Miami and Denver, has sparked a lively debate about privacy.
Google plans to roll out the feature to selected regions around the world.
The Australian Federal Privacy Commission says that it will have a look at the issue.
On the other hand Google says if you can see it from the street all the world is entitled to see it as well.
