    Nick Fuentes did this last year when he assaulted a woman who knocked on his door.

    Of course, it’s not hard to figure out what building is in-between numbers 1824 and 1828…

    Does Google require proof you live there and give that info to the cookie monster that powers its profits??

    Am I too paranoid at this point?

      It’s also just dumb that imagery taken from a street isn’t doing anything privacy-invading or illegal yet they still feel the need to coddle paranoid NIMBYs. Street View can sometimes be useful for OSM, since you might’ve been there but forgotten to document something, are too far away, etc. Street View as a concept works to the public’s benefit, although Google owning it and it being proprietary isn’t good. I can see this removal feature being a good thing by probably one out of every thousand times it’s actually used, namely in the case that you have some kind of stalker (even then, though, satellite view 99% of the time would give you a concerning amount of info compared to Street View).

        A scammer will use an image of your house for a rental ad. They will have a locksmith change the locks and rent the house out to an unsuspecting family. Then you have to evict them to get your house back.
