Do you mean that thing that blurs a specific building? I’ve always thought that was a great example of the Streisand effect. It’s not like someone can’t walk/drive there and see it anyway.


The point of not wanting photos of you or your house spread around the internet isn't to make it physically impossible to see you, but to restrict that privilege to the people you actually (want to) physically interact with.


I wonder how it works with condos and other places where multiple unrelated people live. I assume privacy wins and if one neighbour wants it blurred then it will be blurred even if others would prefer it visible.
