From a privacy standpoint, what effect does this have on us? I kind of cringed at the thought of my house number being spread around the Internet for strangers to solve. Then I realized I don't really have a problem with people solving my address so much as I have a problem with Google having a database of photographs of everyone's house.
Are my concerns unfounded?
- notatoad 15y agoIn what way does tying the appearance of your house to its street number have anything to do with your privacy?
- ceol 15y agoIt's more so the photograph of my house than knowing my street number.
- enjo 15y agoWhat about that makes you uncomfortable exactly? I'm genuinely curious, as I've heard that sentiment expressed many times before. It's not like your house is otherwise invisible...
- ceol 15y agoMy house isn't necessarily invisible, but having photographs of my (and every other house) sitting in some company's database makes me uncomfortable. It's kind of like those cars that drive around recording everyone's license plate. Sure, that information is sitting out in the open anyway, but streamlining the collection of that information gives me the creeps.

- mquander 15y agoIf you even hinted at what your concerns actually are, then I guess people might be better at speculating about whether they are unfounded or not.
