In case you ever wanted to blur your house from google street view you can. A little privacy i suppose, its pretty easy. you dont need a reason to do it. This probaly the only thing google lets opt out of which is cool.

This way they could know who’s devices’ fingerprint is attached to a certain address. Another way to sell customer’s data to ads companies.
This unironicly lowers property value. Buyers like scouting out new homes on street view.
It also supposedly makes you a bigger target for would-be burglars who scout google maps for targets. It makes your house stand out and makes them think you have something valuable to hide.
100% the Streisand effect! Blurred homes attract way more attention.
The only time I heard someone justify blurring their home, it was “so that thieves don’t know where my cameras are”. But I’d think the opposite was true.

No one would have mistaken that for a jest.
Its more like tragic Irony.
Tragic irony, a prominent literary device, involves a poignant disjunction between the audience’s awareness of critical information and the obliviousness of the characters within a narrative.
