- To protect home privacy, homeowners are increasingly requesting Google to blur images of their residences on Google Maps Street View.
- Google Maps allows users to virtually explore neighborhoods, which can be beneficial for various legitimate purposes but also poses risks for privacy and security.
- Emory Professor Ramnath Chellappa notes that while blurring images helps deter potential criminals, it does not eliminate all online visibility of the home.
- The blurring process is straightforward and has been available for years, providing a measure of privacy for concerned homeowners.
- Although blurring can reduce the clarity of images, other platforms like Zillow and Apple Maps may still display unblurred images and information about the property.
