> people require google to blur their building facade but the same people have no problem having their full name (incl. partners name), phone number and address on a publicly searchable online phonebook

Wait...so people can decide which facts about their life they want to remain private and which they're fine with you knowing? I thought that was the whole idea of self-determination. Where's the catch?

Please explain, what about my building facade is so incredible private? Sensitive information is blurred anyways and google won’t publish anything that is private, they are just taking pictures of public spaces, which is totally legal.

Your building's facade is whatever you decide it to be. It doesn't matter what other people think, it's not up to them. So, likewise, you're not the one to say that someone's building's facade is not private. A major part of respect for other people's privacy is letting them decide what they're private about. I mean, sure, lots of impolite things you may be doing are still legal. Laws don't define courtesy.
