Isn’t it better to hide a leaf amongst a forest? On top of that not every house is going to be blurred nor is every license plate so people can still find you through other people. I guess this would work good enough for faces though

you can hire security firms that will actually go to every mapping company and request blurring of your home( some even include overhead blurring)

But your home, plate and face as you walk down the street are all free and viewed by the public. Driving to work, maybe 50 cars can see my plate, each way. Probably a few hundred drive by my house every day and can see it. Not sure I understand the paranoia. 🤷🏼♂️

This is fine & dandy for the current home owner. What about future ones tho? Shouldn’t they have the right to unblurr the home once it’s sold? I can see there will be some upset future home owners of blurred-out houses.

It’ll probably resets once they post an updated street view image.

@Alfredo Actually, when a house is blurred, the frames in which the blurred house can be seen are never updated, so blurring your house also prevents a large section of the street to not get updated.

So you have to share your personal details just so Google can blur your home? In the first place, Google has no right sharing people’s homes in their maps. It’s agains anyone’s privacy. But since it’s an American company, they get away with it.

All the companies and services be it food delivery, packages, Uber, etc etc. Blurring your house in Google Maps might make it harder for them to find your home. Not sure it’s really worth it.

People shouldn’t have the right the blur their home at all. It’s viewable from a public space. I’d like anyone to provide me of an example where blurring a home protects someone’s privacy. If someone’s looking at your house on street view they already have your address.

The title is a bit misleading since you can’t do it yourself rather you are requesting for it to be done. I think it should read as ‘How to request a blurring of your house in Google Maps’. 😄

I guess I got lucky when it came to ensuring my home’s privacy. I did this back when street view first came out. Except back them, google would completely remove your home and any images that had the smallest part of your property. To this day if you try to street view my house it takes you about five homes down the block. Because of my request, about 15 homes are not available at all on street view. BTW- google means it when they say this is a lifetime change. To this day, they still update my street but skip the same houses that it removed over 15 years ago since my request to remove my house. I bet real estate agents in my area hate me. Cause this value tool is ot available for the houses surrounding mine.

I see why people would do this but people who do it on multifamily units or apartments are menaces to society

I don’t know. Blurring your house my make it even more suspicious and people want to know why it’s blurred out.

The technology is redundant, because it’s adding a step no one is aware of. No one should even have to do this at all.

Just because you provide an address, doesn’t mean you own that address. Trolls are going to have a field day.
