Swear words spotted on homeowner's roof on Google Maps image

A homeowner has left an explicit message for Google Maps on their roof.

Users of the online navigation tool spotted a property in Mississippi, USA, displaying a statement believed to be a message to mass-media giants.

The house's roof clearly reads "f--k you", as seen in a screenshot shared on Reddit.

"They've had their property image blurred from StreetView as well... hah!" the poster wrote.

"What's funny is that, while you can't see it clearly, it looks completely different on Apple Maps satellite view... like it says something else.

"Actually... looking at it in Bing Maps, it looks the same as Apple Maps... like the paint ran after a while and makes it look messed up."

Redditors speculated that the homeowner had scrawled the message across their roof after having a request to blur their property from the platform's satellite rejected.

"I imagine they had Google blur their house on StreetView (ya know, for privacy) but Google wouldn't do it for Satellite View, so this was the homeowner's response," said one user.

Another commenter wrote, "Do you think they realise this only draws more attention to them and not less?"

The home is blurred on street view, but remains visible on the site's satellite function.

Google Maps' privacy policy states users may request the company blur their "entire house, car, or body" by submitting a request using the 'Report a problem' tool.

Google will permanently blur properties on street view for privacy reasons, but not on its satellite view.

"Google does not itself blur satellite imagery," a company spokesperson told the Daily Star.

"Google Earth is built from a broad range of imagery providers, including public, government, commercial and private sector sources – some of which may blur images before they supply it to us. "Such imagery is commercially available on the market (including to other map services) from third party providers. Any inquiries should be directed to that provider."

The Reddit user updated the post to reveal the homeowner had changed the message to "EAT S--T".
