A photo that I posted on google maps 3 years ago is not showing up any more. It is a photo of a shopping canter “Lisa” and it was featured by google. Some other fellow local guide took a screen shot of my photo (it’s obvious judging by the quality) and wrote a review of the place and now my photo is not showing any more. The photo is still in my contribution page and it has almost 184k views. I don’t really want to rise any copyright issues, I just want my photo to be back on its place. I would really appreciate if someone can help me.

Hi @Maaac_03
Here is what you can do:
Have the MAPS link handy to your original image.
Then start flagging the stolen copy for copyright issues. This can only be done by the owner of the copyright= you. Explain what you think happened and make sure to include the direct link original. Google usually reacts promptly to such requests. Most likely the stolen copy will be taken down and yours will go public again. They should be able to do this without you losing any of the 184K views.
Best of luck
