• HOW
• Find your home on Street View by searching for it on Google Maps with your address.
• Drag the little yellow man from Street View onto the street in front of your home to switch to Street View mode. After that click on "Report a problem" at the bottom right of the screen.
• Then fill out the form by selecting "My house", indicating as a reason that you want to obfuscate your home for privacy reasons. Enter your email address, and resolve the reCAPTCHA. Finally click "Submit".
• Spread this guide to relatives and acquaintances. Especially on Whatsapp and/or Facebook groups.
• Eventually translate this guide into your own language.

REASONS

• Prevention of remote study of the area by attackers (thieves).
• Protection of your privacy.
• Prevent Google from selling your home information to third parties.
• Prevent a foreign company (Google) from collecting data in your country.

NB

• This procedure protects your privacy, not your anonimity.
• You should also obfuscate nearby buildings to avoid the Streisand effect.

TIPS

• Use a disposable email if you don't want to use your own. Eg. getnada.com (@boximail.com domain).
• Center as finely as possible the house inside the red square. If needed, move yourself a bit along the street to adjust it.
• Give a keyword-based description of the house. Eg. "white house with red door".
