Not identical, but they’ll have a form to remove revenge porn within a few weeks, maybe you could use that.
Google can’t find my address, but for the last few years I’ve tried to correct the name of a park in DC. On Google, it is named for a notorious segregationist. In real life, its name was changed quite a while ago. Each time I report a map error, Google sends an automated response that my change can’t be verified. Once I reported the error with a link to Street View that clearly shows the “new” name of the park. Again, my change can’t be verified.
Fine, Google, if you want to keep the name of the guy who split DC into the white western part and the black eastern part in order to keep the races apart, there’s nothing more I can do about it. Maybe Google can come up with some clever art to celebrate this dude’s upcoming 170th birthday. May I suggest you throw some hipster-ed up stars and bars on your front page?
Apparently I’m a preacher in Alabama. Northern Piper, we should get together.
When I go to Google Maps, there is a question mark in the lower right hand corner. If I click on it, I get a popup menu which includes “Send general feedback” You could try that.
Out of curiosity, what’s the name of the park?
Interesting. I’m at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, even though I’m signed into Google and have my home address saved in Google Maps. The Collective is not infallible, apparent.
On Google it is Francis Newlands Park. The National Park Service calls it Little Forest Park. There is also a fountain in DC that is named for him, and there are efforts to get that changed. Here’s a story about that and what an awful person he was. And yes, I think it is also terrible that DC of all places wasn’t yet corrected this memorial to him yet.
My brother’s the same way; his email address is firstname@aol.com. Not because he got in with it first–there’s nobody else with his first name on the first three pages of a Google search.
I just google-mapped a whole slew of past and present friends, colleagues and bosses, including:
CEOs of medium-large tech companies
People with high media profiles
People who daily use map-my-ride and similar location-based apps
A Google employee
…without finding anyone’s home address. It got one person’s work and one person’s ex-college.
It seems really weird that Google should be making public the details of someone actively trying to be private.
I’m late to the party, but I discovered that when I put my name into Google search & click “maps” per the OP, it puts a pin at my current GPS location. Which right now is a thousand miles from my house.
So perhaps the OP’s wife is safe unless the bad guy is already parked out front.
