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.
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.
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
Look how fast YouTube demonetized reckless Ben (and tried to get him to remove videos) when he talked about Mormons or Scientology. They all have deep connections.
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.

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

Guy on my street had been blurred for over 10 years. Google used to make it easy to request.

It's pretty easy. In street view, I clicked "report a problem" and it took me right there to the request form

Thanks I'm going to try this later.

It's still easy, or at least it was a few years ago when I did it

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

Surely, by his own logic, this makes him the safest man on earth, right?

Big tech has special services for Kings.

Anyone else think that’s an oddly normal house for the lair of a villain?
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1d
Probably a cheaper address for tax purposes.

It’s empty inside, except for the elevator down to the cave.

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

I'm curious as to why it's being labeled as a laundry service.

When I looked yesterday, it was labelled as a public toilet with 4.6 stars.
WoodScientist@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1d
Probably just hoping random people show up at his door at 2 AM with a basket of laundry.

People are adding new locations to this address, my personal favorite being "Free Housing for the Homeless"

How about "loophole"?
CannonFodder@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 1d
That's a surprisingly modest house.

It’s just the surface shell to cover his bunker.

Seems that Garrett has his own Flock Camera in front of his house.

Laundry service? Why not public lavatory?
