Google Street View – get Google to remove your house now!

March 23rd, 2009 by Joshua Rex

Is it just me or are other people pissed off about this…?

The technology is cool but the problem lies in their attitude and it’s kind of creepy.

I compel everyone to ask that their house be removed. I’m not stickler for privacy and hey the street is hardly a private space….I’m just curious to see if Google will black out images as promised.

Simply go to Google Maps and type in your post code. Click on the street view link in the pop up.

Then, get a seriously strong magnifying glass to locate the link at the bottom left of the image ‘report a problem”. Cheeky buggers…could they make it any harder to see?

Here’s what you are looking for:

The rest is easy……..and up to the big G!
