Google Earth has tons of layers available, but I doubt many people actually use it for more than a high-tech mooch around the globe. Putting webcam access on Google Maps means millions will see it every day, as they tap in directions to meetings etc. It's going to get a lot more exposure... and probably hit the headlines once the scaremongers see it.

Not only that but probably the majority of the webcams are of harbours, busy streets, bars and few if any have high enough resolution that any person is recognizable. Additionally, many of the cams originate from other websites such as official city sites, those for hotels, tourism sites, etc. So, calm down and check out the webcams, and you'll see there is little to fear from them.
