Anyone here ever been to Jewtropolis? - UofMstateU - 08-30-2018 11:34 AM
This is the danger companies have when they are linked to 3rd parties who dont have secure systems.
Snapchat has apologized for a major gaffe that labelled New York City "Jewtropolis" on Snap Maps, leading users to blast it as "racist."
But the blunder – which is impacting the, iOS, Android, and desktop versions of the platform – still hasn't been fixed.
The Snapchat support account blamed the blunder on an apparent hack of Mapbox, the third-party mapping software that powers Snap Maps and other GPS maps like it.
"@pisceschrist Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Snap Map relies on third party mapping data which has unfortunately been subject to vandalism. We are working with our partner Mapbox to get this fixed immediately," tweeted the company.
Snapchat also sent the following emailed statement to The Sun apologizing for the mistake and promising a rapid fix:
"This defacement is deeply offensive and entirely contrary to our values, and we want to apologize to any members of our community who saw it. We are working with our partner Mapbox to fix this as quickly as possible," said a company spokesperson.
