Oh, turns out you can't blur the satellite images. Then yeah idk how this helps.

Edit: Well maybe you aren't a target to begin with, but mass scanning can make you one. Like if you park some expensive car out front and someone far away checks all houses with expensive cars. It's a bit far-fetched, but there also aren't that many reasons not to blur your house unless the concern is they only target blurred houses.

Oh, turns out you can't blur the satellite images.

You can if you're Israel:
