This kind of issue was happened when Google launched Google earth.
The ammunition factory in Pune was visible completely, its main entrance, exit, everything was visible. Then the company management had to change the entire entrance, exit and other layout of the factory.

Basically, the high level authority should have such power who can check such products, test them to make sure there is no security threat to the nation.
I don't know whether its true or not, the terrorists in 26/11 attack was trained in Google earth as you can see everything in its street view.
A Japanese lady even tried to sue Google for this, as her one of the relative saw her undergarments in her terrace.

Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

The more open, the more dangerous.
One can't really deny the fact that when every single detail is known, there is a greater chance of threat.

Google's uncontrolled manner in offering specific geographic details of every corner of the country is indeed very creepy. 👀

If I am not wrong its, NASA behind Google maps and free GPS. So basically it's US who is collecting every bit of data☕.
