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.

Yeah, they claim only property owners or tenants can request it, which means I would have to prove that to be compliant w/ their policy.

Anyone can take pictures of my house. That's 100% within the law, provided they take it from outside my property. So to blur it, I have to give them PII (which they probably have anyway), but it doesn't actually stop them from changing their policy and unblurring it later.

So yeah, I'm not going to bother w/ this.
