That's psychologically improbable and becomes gravely improbable if there were more than one vandal.
- jrockway 15y agoWell, I'll tell you this. There's no corporate mandate at Google telling employees that it's OK to vandalize OpenStreetMap. In fact, we even sponsor OSM as a Google Summer of Code project: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code If you want some "Google is evil" fodder, this is not it. Sorry.
- kevinh 15y agoI simply don't think you understand what people are willing to do. I know many people who would play Wikipedia Jenga - you edit Wikipedia with bigger and more ridiculous edits and the person who gets the article reverted is the "loser". It's not ridiculous to assume that they could be playing a similar game with OSM, especially if they viewed it as "competitor". I don't believe Google is stupid enough to advocate vandalizing an opponent's products.
