Google Is Censoring Reviews of ICE Detention Centers

Google is removing reviews for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers on Google Maps, according to research by Tulane University professor Muira McCammon. Google cites a policy against reviews for places where people 'go without choice,' such as prisons, but many deleted reviews detailed firsthand experiences of ICE detention conditions.
