Google 'Prematurely' Renames Russell Senate Office Building for McCain
Source: Roll Call
Updated 12:20 with Google’s response: While it’s still being debated in Congress, Google appears to have gone ahead and renamed the Russell Senate Office Building the “McCain Senate Office Building” to honor the late Sen. John McCain.
If you hover over the “McCain” label, a pop-up that reads “Russell Senate Office Building” appears. If you click on the label, information about Russell appears in a panel on the left side of the map with no mention of McCain.
A representative for Google said it was looking into the “premature” change. The original name began to show up in some browsers after noon.
“We empower people to contribute their local knowledge to the map, but we recognize that there may be occasional inaccuracies or premature changes suggested by users. When this happens, we work to address as quickly as possible. We have implemented a fix for this issue that is rolling out now,” the representative said in a statement to Roll Call.
