Flock CEO gets his house blurred out on Google Maps and Zillow

I'd hope he did! I hope all of you do to. This isn't information you want so easily publicly available. It's a pretty easy request.

I don't really understand how blurring out a house adds privacy. Looking around my neighborhood on Google street view I sometimes find houses that are blurred, now that otherwise normal looking house is now suspicious. Because I am physically close I can just look at the house if I wanted to. Someone "special" lives there.

Didn't this man just go on record saying the public needs to "compromise" on privacy?

People are so childish nowadays. The fact that things escalate to the point.

As someone who may or may not have a Flock (YC 2017) watching me as I type this, I'm glad that it exists. I can now feel "Flock Safe and Secure™", knowing that the compromise I've made has been worth it.

I feel like setting up cameras pointed at the houses of influential people with public web feeds might help push some privacy reform.

There’s something wrong with that guy. Quite apart from the gross privacy violation issues. Most of us didn’t even know what Flock was before the Superbowl and now there is this massive public controversy around it, and every time he opens his mouth he makes it worse. The board needs to replace him ASAP.
