Google has apologized for the image of its Android mascot urinating on an Apple logo which was posted to Google Maps through Map Maker.
In a statement to The Washington Post Google spokesperson said, “We’re sorry for this inappropriate user-created content; we’re working to remove it quickly,” The spokesperson added, “We also learn from these issues, and we’re constantly improving how we detect, prevent, and handle bad edits.”
The visual that has now been removed was located in Pakistan near the city of Rawalpindi, and added to Google Maps through Map Maker, a feature that allows users to add content and additional information to Google Maps. A Google user looking for a location near Rawalpindi, Pakistan found the image when he came across the coordinates 33°30’52.5″N 73°03’33.2″E
