Are you sure they just weren't hiding their distaste? Or maybe it is the increased awareness of the harms of second-hand smoke increasing the distaste on both a conscious or unconscious level? As for the topic, I'm not sure how far privacy laws prevent people from photographing the exteriors of homes, but if it covers that then they have the right to exercise it. That the government might have a similar capability is another issue. Most people, for all their misgivings about the government and its intrusion on privacy, may still feel a bit of difference between the personal data being in some governmental database than if it is on the Net.
