You may be searching for your school, but you'll see photos of potatoes, erotic fan art, and even ALF.
and teens alike have discovered that Google Maps is an opportunity to share funny content in an unexpected context., SpongeBob memes, “Comrade Doggo,” or a picture of bread on a skateboard often use Google accounts associated with fake names like “Jake McQueef,” “Juul Is cuul,” “「potato man」,” and “7ate9.”But some young people aren’t afraid to use Google accounts linked to their real names.
“I chose ALF because it’s not a popular meme, but to someone who doesn’t know who ALF is, it could be confusing, strange, and scary even,” Henderson told BuzzFeed News. “For a glorious week, about six schools had one of the various ALF photos as their main profile photo. So if you googled any of these schools you would get a face full of ALF.”Although most of the pictures were removed, an ALF photo remains in the Google Maps gallery for Northfield Middle & High School.
Another listing showed an ableist screenshot from 4chan, a site that hosts hateful and extremist content. Some listings show images containing the n-word. “We continually work to identify and remove content that violates our policies, and encourage people to flag any such content so we can review and take action,” said the Google spokesperson. “Users who repeatedly violate our policies may be prevented from making further contributions to Google Maps.”Steven Schidrich, principal of Hilton Head Island High School in South Carolina, said that he didn’t know that his high school had a Google Maps gallery.
