SINGAPORE/BANGKOK (June 28): Google took down two Google Maps documents on Monday that had listed the names and addresses of hundreds of Thai activists who were accused by royalists of opposing the monarchy, the technology company said. A spokesperson for Alphabet's Google said by email "the issue is now fixed", and noted: "We have clear policies about what's acceptable for user generated My Maps content. Songklod said that he and the team of volunteers sought to highlight those they accused of breaking that law. The government did not immediately respond to comment on the removal of the Google Maps or the content they contained. The royalist activist said the content in them had come from public research.
