Google forced to remove virtual climb after backlash

Parks Australia asked the tech giant to remove the images following last year’s ban on visitors scaling the monolith, which is deeply sacred to its traditional owners, the Anangu people.

Until now the Street View function still allowed people to virtually experience the controversial climb through 360-degree user-generated images taken at the top of the rock, which included images of climbers celebrating at the summit.

Waiting for pro-lifers to demand removal of listings and street view of abortion clinics, surely Google will show equal deference to their wishes regarding what is sacred.
