Blur Street View Imagery - Google Maps Help

Google Street View cars capture images from public roads, which might include your home. If an image contains inappropriate content, or you prefer your home not be shown, you can request it to be blur

In case you ever wanted to blur your house from google street view you can. A little privacy i suppose, its pretty easy. you dont need a reason to do it. This probaly the only thing google lets opt out of which is cool.

    I did this a year ago, and as @hellfire103@lemmy.ca & @privacydingus@lemmy.ml mentioned: “if I blurred it, it would stick out” or “one blurred house on a street of unblurred houses probably creates more intrigue”. However, others may have seen my blurred house and applied the same level of privacy. Now the map has four blurred houses, again possibly because I did it first. “When you say, ‘I have nothing to hide,’ you’re saying, ‘I don’t care about this right.’ ”
