So I have to send private documentation to google, who promises bro to delete within 60 days...

How about they just not take detailed pictures of residential streets? We know they can autoblurr licenses and faces; do the same to residential homes.

I did it and they didn't ask me anything. Still, it should be opt-in, not opt-out, it's my fucking property why is Google mapping it.

Nope, I don't event have an account. You just provide an email and I used an alias service.

That's good to know! Thanks!
