Google Filters Anti-Israel Posts from Google Maps

by Eric on August 30, 2008

After a controversial set of posts in Google Maps labeling the state “Al Nakbah”, Google has set in filters to keep out anti-Israel posts.

The posts were made by a resident of Jenin, and Israeli city Kiryat Yam sued Google over a similar post stating that the city was built on the ruins of a Palestinian city.

We will see if this really makes a difference.
