O Google Maps, an online maps and navigation service offered by Google, considered the demarcated area between Rua Helvétia, Alameda Barão de Piracicaba and Largo Coração de Jesus as Cracolândia. Portal G1 questioned the company about the reason for the delimitation.
In a statement, Google said, “The purpose of Google Maps is to provide accurate and useful information about places around the world. We consult a variety of sources to determine the name of a place or resource on the platform. User input helps people base their decisions on where to go and what to do in an ever-changing world.”
However, after contacting the report, the marking of Cracolândia as a neighborhood disappeared from the platform. The company reported that “when there are inaccuracies, we work to remove them as quickly as possible. In addition, we continually work to identify and remove content that violates our policies and We encourage people to report this content so that we can review and take action when necessary."
Cracolândia is a social and public health problem, since people who frequent this area are exposed to a series of risks, such as violence, disease and unhealthy living conditions.
In addition, the presence of drug users in the region can also affect local businesses and the quality of life of residents in the region.
