HOW * Find your home on Street View by searching for it on Google Maps with your address. * Drag the little yellow man from Street View onto the street in front of your home to switch to Street View mode. After that click on "Report a problem" at the bottom right of the screen. * Then fill out the form by selecting "My house", indicating as a reason that you want to obfuscate your home for privacy reasons. Enter your email address, and resolve the reCAPTCHA. Finally click "Submit". * Spread this guide to relatives and acquaintances. Especially on Whatsapp and/or Facebook groups. * Eventually translate this guide into your own language.
REASONS * Prevention of remote study of the area by attackers (thieves). * Protection of your privacy. * Prevent Google from selling your home information to third parties. * Prevent a foreign company (Google) from collecting data in your country.
NB * This procedure protects your privacy, not your anonimity. * You should also obfuscate nearby buildings to avoid the Streisand effect.
TIPS * Use a disposable email if you don't want to use your own. Eg. getnada.com (@boximail.com domain). * Center as finely as possible the house inside the red square. If needed, move yourself a bit along the street to adjust it. * Give a keyword-based description of the house. Eg. "white house with red door".
EXAMPLES * 1609 Flushing Dr, Wilmington, North Carolina * Globočnikova ulica 10, 6230 Postojna, Slovenië * 106 Route de Bon-Secours, Givet, Grand Est, Frankreich

Europe is pretty shitty desu. 50+% live in cities' flats. Meanwhile 50+% of US population live in his own suburb's house.

>Your house is the only thing blurred in the whole street >random people will think you are some important government building you gained more attention by doing this.
>Prevention of remote study of the area by attackers (thieves) streisland effect, if your house is the only one blurred among others, it may draw attention to it, as if you wanted to hide something, perhaps a wealthier home be and openly appear poor instead
James Ross
Cant you make false claims and for google it will be easier to blur everything than facing lawsuit? Eu laws are hardh on this
Bentley Lewis

>50% of US population live in their own suburb house Burgerfat reporting in. Sadly, this is no longer the case. We talk a mean game about how the boomers own everything here, but the truth is, a lot of them are broke or in nursing homes now, having spent retirement on vacations or blowing it on college for the kids, or just not having planned well for retirement in the first place. GenX and the Millennials don't own homes and the Zoomers are just emerging onto the world stage.
Most homes here are owned by absentee landowners who hang onto the property and trade them on the market, buying low and selling high, and keeping them vacant most of the year if they're ever filled at all. You can even write off the lack of tenants as a business loss on your taxes as long as you can prove that you "Tried" in at least one place to advertise for tenants. Naturally there are services that allow landlords to do just this without ever actually having to consider any tenants, while providing a paper trail that says they fulfilled their legal obligation to search.
Google only obfuscates your house when you are looking at it. Everyone else can see it. Prove me wrong. No matter what machine, OS or network you use, Google knows it's you. Even when you are looking over the shoulder of a total stranger Googe location data knows you are within sight of that screen.
Caleb Jenkins
Hold on, let me just tell Google exactly where I live.
hey everyone, match your email address with your house and give that relationship to google, for PRIVACY
lmao
Camden Johnson
this reddit/normie forum style of posting indicates this is a shill replying to a shill.
Google is trying to associate homes with users, don't let them do that
Gabriel Nguyen
I do wonder if you read OP. You either are glowniggers, or low-iq anons.
This: >use a disposable email >use TOR
William Brooks
We did read OP, it's just that you're an idiot and nothing you say has value.
Matthew Martinez
Can you do it if you live in a condo?
Jaxon Evans
>nothing you say has value Like you privacy apparently. Imagine wanting a Big Brother.
Leo Sullivan
It's been explained to you that all you do is give Google your direct address and make your house much more interesting to anyone else. You even mention the Streisand effect in OP yet offer no solution to it. They're not going to blur out a whole street because some moron flags all of it.
