Google Maps content trust and safety report visible changes

March 2026.

  • We updated the report content to improve clarity and reflect current operations (for example, adding a link to the new 'report a review extortion scam' form and adding more detail on how we fight fake reviews).
  • The total place edits shared in the 2024 reporting period inadvertently over-counted published edits due to mislabelling in our reporting dataset. We revised the data to correct this.
  • We also revised the percentage of reviews removed by reason, as we discovered an error in the chart. Harm remains the lowest category of all removal reasons.
