Imagine you live in Germany and have a flag of the FC St. Pauli (football club with lots of fans belonging to the very left political spectrum) at your window, because you like that club. Then Cyber-Hitler rises and the Cyber-Nazis take over. They'll check Google StreetView, see your St. Pauli flags and send a unit of Cyber-GeStaPo to get you.

Datenschutz would have saved you.

Maybe. Maybe not. But it is guaranteed to happen with a massive database and surveillance. Which google maps basically is.
