You can imagine a German guy....happy because he opt'ed out, and today viewing the street.....seeing all his neighbors clearly, and his house is totally blurred. What a number of Germans were thinking was that nothing from the house would be in the picture. And now? A massive blur?
It is comical in a way. Germans often have this view of things and how they will work out. In this case....I'm thinking alot of folks will be upset and disappointed over what happened to the idea of privacy. They end up with a blur representation.
You can imagine Huns coming over from across the street. His house is clear and crisp. He wants to ask how come your house is so fuzzy. You answer is that you opt'ed out. Huns will stand there and drag this topic around, over and over. Eventually, you will go back in the house and spend weeks mad and upset over the image of your house. I suspect most home owners will now regret this decision.
Google probably took the appropriate measure. A measured amount of blur, and then folks start to rethink their wisdom in accepting a blur. Most folks just won't be able to handle the blur.
Comical in a way....if you think about this. If you could just find an entire street of Germans who opt'ed out....and you could refer to it as "blur strasse". That might stick with the neighborhood kids.
