If you want to see what a privacy conscious country can do just look at Germany, there’s more blur than houses on google maps in Germany. They actually stopped doing street view completely a couple years ago after they got so much push back. Unfortunately, they started again though hoping people will give in.

Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

That's awesome. Well done Deutschland.
Tomorrows job is to go to the Google page and be as good as Germany.
Bonus tip: If you live in an HOA, and you convince the HOA leadership to get on board, Google will blur the entire neighborhood.
When you ask to blur they get amazing data on your location to pair with your browser fingerprint.
I might prefer to just block the data mining vehicle used to record my house.
never bothered me. got my car to show up on both sides of the street one time.
