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.

Thanks, but I’ll pass. Currently, it’s just a random house; but if I blurred it, it would stick out like a sore thumb and possibly attract attention.
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.’ ”
I wouldn’t say my take is that I am not doing this because I have nothing to hide.
I find these “privacy” features very funny. Not strictly streets-related, but there are also apps like Google Earth, satellites.pro and such. I find it funny how one such service decides to blur out military complexes of some countries while another one does not and displays them clearly in the satellite photos.
It is; I would be mindful that one blurred house on a street of unblurred houses probably creates more intrigue to anyone casually looking at that street.
Not to mention go one click either direction on street view and gasp you can see the house.
Or you can just go to Bing street view.
I read that doing this lowers the value of your house.
Barbra Streisand, is that you?
