I wonder if this might have an unintended Streisand Effect outcome e.g. people seeking out blurred locations in person to find what "they" don't want you to see (regardless of the fact that the "they" is just someone who cares about their privacy)?

- Lammy 6y agoI’ve never actually run across a “blurred” single home and wouldn’t really have the urge to look more into one if I did, but I have seen several cases where entire nearby streets are unavailable on Street View. I’ve gone after a small handful of those out of curiosity :)

- Fogest 6y agoIt's funny because you can just zoom out and see the house from satellite view in 3d and see almost the same amount you'd see from street view.
- znpy 6y agoIf nothing stops you from requesting blur for any location, you might as well blur random houses in your neighborhood or whole city, just to make your own blurred house less noteworthy.
