p2pnet view Freedom | P2P:- A Google SnoopMobile on skiis will be cruising the 2010 Winter Olympic venues, snapping away as it goes.

But surely not?

Isn’t that against Olympic committe rules?

Or is Google which, when all is said and done, is nought but a hard-core advertising company, a special case?

“Google said the site was designed to make information about the Games ‘accessible and useful’,” says the Telegraph, going on, “It will include the latest headlines from Vancouver, as well as updated medal tables after each event.

Latest headlines, eh?

Isn’t it already ‘accessible and useful’ given the lamescream press corpse are already there in force?

And as p2pnet said earlier today, Rule 49 of the Olympic Charter clearly states >>>

Only those persons accredited as media may act as journalists, reporters or in any other media capacity.

Gargle has “also mapped parts of Whistler Mountain, where some of the events, including the men’s alpine skiing, are taking place,” says the Telegraph, adding:

“It sent a specially equipped snowmobile up the mountain, kitted out with the latest GPS and photographic equipment, to take slope-level pictures as part of its Street View mapping service.”

Street view is not, of course, a service.

It’s a Gargoyle product.
