Company announces prank has forced it to ‘take a pause’ as it makes changes to how it approves edits made by users
Google has shut down its Map Maker service after a series of embarrassing oversights allowed vandalism – the most notorious example being an image of a Google Android robot urinating on the Apple logo.
The company said it had been moderating all user-generated edits to try to prevent such pranks, but found it impossible to keep up.
Visitors to the Google site were directed on Monday to a forum post that explained the site would be unavailable for editing until a solution could be found.
