Couple suing Google Maps after it sent them to a notorious crime hotspot where they were brutally attacked and robbed at gunpoint::A Los Angeles couple filed a lawsuit against Google Maps for allegedly navigating them to a notorious South African crime neighborhood where tourists are left ‘injured, maimed or dead.’
They wouldn’t need to label them as bad to inform users. It’s possible to display crime statistics without bias.
Except that still has the same effect and simply amplifies the result of shitty policies.
That would still entrench the area - How would a change of bad to good reflect on google maps? How quickly would that change show up?
Crime statistics come preloaded with systemic bias for your convenience.
