As you surely know, Google Earth allows users to view the entire Earth directly from the satellite, including
security areas and some of the secret zones from countries in the entire world. That’s why the product was
continuously brought in the spotlight, the authorities from multiple countries demanding the search giant to remove or at least blur certain images. Although Google usually agreed, it seems like this is the moment the company refuses to comply with the authorities demand, sustaining several blurry pictures will damage the quality of the application.
