I have no clue why but Google Maps has blurred out my house on Street View. It’s pretty odd that it has suddenly done this without me requesting it. I placed a request to remove the blurring but the response was less than helpful. I’m wondering if I upload some photo’s to Google maps, if it will remove the blurring.
