Fighting back against the pranksters

These stories caught my attention:

Pranksters change the name of a school in New Zealand

Muitiple incidents in Taiwan

Seems there are loads of similar stories in a lot of countries and different laguages…

I think we LG as guadians of Google Maps should have done something.

What do you think?

So etwas ist nicht lustig, aber was soll man dagegen unternehmen, allenfalls kann man versuchen es auf Gmaps zu berichtigen.

If you have Maps links to examples please feel free to report them in the Maps Support Forum or here on Connect if you unsuccessfully tried to remove them as Spam or Do not exist here.

@MortenCopenhagen I will give you an example here. And this actually is between two languages: If you search a name in Chinese, you will have a result.

野鸡大学 - unregistered and illegitimate universityScreenshot 2024-10-04 at 9.37.57 PM.png

If you search this term on Google Maps, you will have this result:

UUNZ Institute of Business

Should I report this? or should I notify the school to report this? This is just one of many examples.
