Some houses are blurred out on Google Maps primarily to protect individual privacy and security. Homeowners or residents often request that their houses be blurred to prevent detailed visibility of their property, which might otherwise expose sensitive information like house layout, vehicles, or security systems. This blurring helps deter potential burglars or stalkers who might use the detailed imagery for malicious purposes. Google allows users to request blurring through its "Report a Problem" tool, and once approved, the blur becomes permanent. This measure is especially important to people concerned about their safety, privacy, or personal belongings, including those with children, public figures, or individuals in vulnerable situations. Google also automatically blurs faces and license plates to enhance privacy. However, sometimes blurring might draw more attention or raise curiosity about the property. Overall, the blurring reflects a growing concern about digital privacy in the era of detailed street-level imagery online.
