how hard would it be to just do this automatically for every address? to bring down the street view machine for good?

I’m not suggesting anyone do this, I am just curious how it would work or how it would play out.

Yeah, doesn’t say anything about copies being destroyed.

Now that I think about it, is that a threat? Is google going to come to my house and set all my documents on fire in 60 days?

It makes it harder to case the house though. If the street view shows a low overhang, with a easy way up to a second story window, or maybe a tree, A/C heat pump, all sorts of things, then I could see an argument for wanting that blurred.

I read somewhere once that some houses are blurred after grisly murders occur there, among other heinous crimes like arson and rapes. That’s what I usually think of wwhen I see a blurred house. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a mansion blurred either.

I recall learning about it around the time i started to learn Linux, when the pandamic first appeared. The introductory text/blog, or whatever it was, really resonated with me. I recall I kept reading and growing more and more excited and thinking I finally found a place on the internet that had people who thought like me, who hated the ad-choked, bot-death, politically-emotional wasteland and reality show the internet became.

I installed a client or three and …nothing. I couldn’t find anything. I didn’t know what to look for, I’m not sure there even was a search or a way to know what content there was, beyond curated lists of page titles.

I tried learning how to make my own page and must have gotten confused or distracted and moved on.

I go back and try again every year or so but I think I lack something that helps me get into it more.

Maybe I need another user to befriend, a twin so to speak, hence the name of the protocol. Maybe I need a better internet connection (I’m poor, speed tops out at ~300kb/s, average is ~100kb/s). Maybe I just need another year or two.
