Hi, colleagues, team.
Last Friday I visited to one big shopping center. The owner prohibits photography in the shopping center.
It's illegal in my country, but no one wants to argue. As a result, almost all shops and other businesses were without photos on Maps.
After difficult negotiations I managed to get a written permission to take pictures. I shot all the objects (about 280) and published on Google Maps.
It was a good photo shoot, I think.
I remind you that earlier most shops had no photos at all.
All photos were successfully published, and began to receive views.
However, today morning I noticed that the photos began to disappear. It's remain in my profile, but the objects again become without photos. And I see progressing - this morning there were photos, and by evening also disappeared.
I do not believe that someone massively complained about my photos. So is a kind of system bug.
@AnnaDickson, @GusMoreira, please check the operation of the filters and the reason for such behavior. Herewith my My LG profile.
Thanks in advance.

Sergey, first, thank you so much for your contribution. Adding store photos is very helpful to others and your photos are fantastic! I will chat with Gus and see what we can find out.

Thanks @AnnaDickson
Thank you very much for your support.
Just for understanding - if I go inside a store, I always coordinate each photo with the manager of each small store. I always try to take pictures without people. If there are people on the photo, I always process such a pictures to blure faces.

Perhaps this is a simple coincidence, but now all the photos have returned. But the whole day the situation was different - I checked it from different devices.
I see an exception only for those photos https://goo.gl/maps/4sgvmdspJKD2, https://goo.gl/maps/Ey9fk7rN9qH2, https://goo.gl/maps/phkbmrFawyz
But those photos did not like the system from the beginning - it's don't want to publish in any way.
