Google tacitly admitted having eliminated the negative criticisms that oppose the reputation of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America of Google Maps. He also disabled the ability to adjust or reports inaccuracies for the American Gulf.
“We put protections in the positions during the periods in which we plan Blog article, dating up to 2023 – on commercial regulations to combat “content to combat policies”.
“We are invested to make sure the data is correct and that the content is eliminated,” says the blog post.
The resolution to reduce content contributions to the Gulf of America is the decline of disappointed users, who have mobilized to review the bomb in the location of the family in Google Maps as a political dissent.
It is not long after users went to social networks to complain about not being able to point out that the American abyss badly classified or recommends changes. There were also several mentions of eliminated criticisms.
To protect Google, the company is simply to apply its existing content moderation regulations for Google Maps.
When you constitute the location names on the cards, Google is obtaining the knowledge of authority organizations such as the United Nations, ISO and FIP.
In an article about X, the company explained that it extracts knowledge of the data formula in geographical names (GNI) the name of the premises in the United States.
The replacement of the call from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is the result of a replacement in the GNI database, which has been updated after a decree through President Donald Trump.
This is the seed of discord comes.
Once the GNI has established the new popular as the Gulf of America, all the mentions of the location as a Gulf of Mexico is now technically what Google would be the “false content. “
The floodwill of erroneous reports and reviews that call the position through its old call caused the abuse of the “real” application.
“When we run into a suspicious activity, we act temporarily and we can put into force the protections to save other abuses,” writes the product of Google Maps, Christina Wichicharoen in the publication of the blog of 2023. “This will possibly come with everything, from the Delegation of the deletion of the content of the policy to fight transitionality deactivation of new new ones.
Google points out that some of these promises are temporary, while others remain in position during longer sections, depending on the seriousness of the situation.
Beyond the protections of transitionality, “there are also long -term protections for Puts where we have discovered that users’ contributions were useless, destructive or out of the subject,” adds Wichicharoen.
We do not notice where the Gulf of America is in this spectrum.
Although the first to put the change in force, Google Maps is not the only one.
Apple and Bing cards also followed their example, the two that now show the Gulf of Mexico as a Gulf of America. So, before hurrying to boycott Google Maps, know they are not very different.
