New Delhi, Feb 19 : Google Maps has blocked or removed 55 million policy-violating reviews and nearly three million fake Business Profiles in 2020.
This is 20 million fewer reviews than it removed in 2019 as it saw a drop in the overall number of reviews due to fewer people being out and about during Covid-19.
“We took down more than 960,000 reviews and more than 300,000 Business Profiles that were reported to us by Google Maps users,” Google said in a statement on Thursday.
The company said that it reviewed and removed more than 160 million photos and 3.5 million videos from Maps that either violated its policies or were of low quality.
