After several today publications που ανέφεραν ότι σε ένα χάρτη της Google διακρίνεται ένας νεκρός, η Google με μια δήλωση της αναφέρει ότι σύντομα θα αφαιρεθεί η picture.
Ο Jose Barrera father of the victim, fell on a photo of Kevin's son 14, who was found dead near Richmond, California, in August 2009, when he was looking for a spot on Google Maps. Barrera told KTVU that his aerial photo had brought him a lot of memories and forced him to apply for removal of the photo on Google.
Google is often reluctant to change its data based on user requests, but this time the company said Brian McClendon, vice president of Google Maps, that it will replace the photo, as reported by TNW:
Our hearts go out to the young boy's family. After the media report, we have looked for different techniques solutions. Google has not replaced its satellite imagery Google Maps in the past, but given the circumstances we will make an exception in this case. We believe we can change the photo in eight days. We've talked to the family to let them know we're trying for that change.
