Misleading title. Google did not mark the labour camps, a human rights activist made a map of the labour camps with Google Earth.
- darkarmani 14y agoThat's your quibble? The activist was able to mark them on the map, because google had hi-rez images of the camps on their maps.
- talkingquickly 14y agoGoogle doing so would imply them actively doing something politically sensitive which adds an interesting dimension to the story which the title implies is there but it looks like in fact isn't?
- revelation 14y agoI had the same quibble. This article even goes on to make the connection to Schmidts trip. The two subject matters have no single fiber connecting them.
- the_gipsy 14y ago"putting on the map" does not imply marking

- elmofromok 14y agoActually, I think it does. It implied action taken by Google to find the data and add it to the map. Huge difference between Google decided to take these actions and add the data and Google built a tool that allows others to do the same.
