While exploring a potential new feature that would allow video to be added<\/a> to your Local Business Record in Maps (first spotted by Mike The Internet Guy<\/a>) I found that Google has added an ability to report inappropriate photos for any of the following reasons:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2This image infringes on my privacy
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2This image violates a copyright
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2This image violates a trademark
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2This image contains inappropriate content or violates policy guidelines
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Other (please describe below)<\/p>\n

Google notes: “We’ll review each image to ensure that it complies with our Terms of Service and Program Policies.”<\/p>\n

In a recent interview<\/a> with Carter Maslan, Product Director of Google Maps, he noted that the best way to combat spam was to rely on the masses for feedback. This appears to be the one of the steps to fruition on that direction.

I presume, but have not verified, it to mean that Google is flagging your account when an inaapropriate photo has been reported as associated with your business record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
