I maybe the only person uploading photos to Google that runs EVERY photo through Photoshop, but in the very rare photo of mine that includes a car with a license plate visible, I just blur, or paint out the number. It’s just a 10 second operation.
This enlargement of an uploaded picture shows the technique.
Just two general info bits.
I down size all my uploads to 1800 pixels wide.
I only upload one photo from a location.
