    When I type “2588” into Google Maps, it auto auggests his complete address, which is objectively funny

    The photo of his house is now fully blurred out. Special treatment from Google to protect him

    Edit: Looks like users can request their home be blurred out. Perhaps not special treatment, although that is uncharistically fast for google to respond to a blug request

    how strange… it looks like he DOES value privacy, because if you look at the address on streetview it looks like this

      how nice of him to confirm his location like that. at least i dont think some random person would have something like this for no reason when all the other houses are unblurred.

    FYI there are a lot winslow drives but only one

    “demorest ave ne”

    Funny how “unrelated” context based unique identifiers without direct correspondence to the original data still allow meaningful identification.

    huh.

    WHO KNEW.

      Google just tells you the address. I typed “2588” into maps and it auto suggested his exact address, despite me being across the country

    my cordial congratulations Flock CEO Garret Langley and his attainment of absolute personal safety through the shedding of all privacy. Now that we can watch you everywhere you go, Garret, surely nothing bad will ever happen to you again. Why don’t you relax? Stop running. There’s nowhere you can go that we can’t watch you anyway.

    I hope this is true. I’m just worried this is yet another epic reddit moment where people go harrass a random innocent by a mistake

        When you list a business on Google Maps, you have to select a category for a business. I’m guessing that “CEO Doxxing” isn’t one of the categories, so whoever listed this probably just chose a random category.
