Maybe it’s just me, but that makes zero sense. Your license plate is visible to literally EVERYONE when you’re driving around and even parked in your driveway. Why blur it out in pictures?

A basic premise of online security is not revealing too much information to allow someone to find you.
Hypothetically, If you post your children’s schedule on your social, their school, and your work, someone could figure out when you’re not with your kid. It would make an easy opportunity to kidnap them. All that bragging about your child seems innocent enough until Uncle Cornhole picked them up from school before you did.
Small bits of identifying information revealed online can be tracked back to you. It all stays online, forever. Find enough information, you can compile it into a profile. How long have social media? That’s how long your records go back.
Short answer: There are some sick people out there. Some of them are tech savvy.

In person your plate is visible to those around you at that moment. If you post it online, it’s visible to anybody who can see that image, whenever. It’s like changing clothes with the window open. Your risk is anybody with your window in view at the moment. Or doing similar outside where you can see roughly who might be able to see you.

* When you’re driving in public, other people can see your licence plate.

In isolation, these pieces of data are sensitive personal information that comprise your identity, and they cannot be concealed in the respective context by virtue of the way they work. But it’s when there are connections formed between them that it becomes a problem. The more links there are, the clearer a picture can be drawn about who you are. That can be very dangerous in the wrong hands, and the thing about a public space like the internet is you can’t always control whose hands it’s in. So the best action is to practice good privacy and limit the amount of information that’s disclosed, and particular compartmentalising them to limit the connections that can be made. Which includes things like not using your real name, face, or other identifying information like your address or licence plate online.

Because a whole fuckton more people can see it on the internet than would be happened to be glanced at maybe by someone while you were driving, and they decided to remember it for a bizarre reason.
People on the internet are at home or killing time. People driving don’t have time to care about your plate.
People on the internet are, well, on the internet and capable of searching a number of things and finding out about you.
Really quite a lot of very important reasons.
