Tried posting a 3D scan of my local park lake on Google Maps and got flagged as spam within 10 minutes.

Took me 6 hours to get the scan right with my phone in Seattle rain, and they banned my account for sharing "sensitive location data" - it's a public lake with ducks. Has anyone else had Google shut down totally harmless stuff like that?

@davidkim honestly I wouldn't even bother fighting it, who cares if your lake scan got nuked? Sounds like Google's algorithm just doing its thing, not some deep conspiracy.

Did you fight the ban or just let it slide?
