In a scandalous case of manipulation on Google Maps, some devices displayed the label “Ratko Mladic Park” at the location of the Srebrenica Memorial Center, where the cemetery for the victims of the Srebrenica genocide is located.
This inappropriate entry has sparked outrage and condemnation, prompting the Srebrenica Memorial Center to contact Google, demanding an urgent correction and removal of the offensive name.
The incident was not observed on all devices, suggesting the possibility of different display settings or varying map update times.
Such cases highlight potential misuse of user functions offered by Google Maps, including the ability to add or modify locations.
Google Maps allows users to report errors or suggest changes to maintain data accuracy.
However, due to user access to these changes, inaccurate information can appear, necessitating quick responses to correct mistakes and preserve the platform’s credibility.
The Srebrenica Memorial Center, dedicated to commemorating the victims of the 1995 genocide, expects swift action to prevent further offense and alleviate the distress caused to the victims’ families, Klix.ba writes.
