Apple Maps is showing Lebanon as a depopulated place. All village names erased. Compare Lebanon, Syria and Israel. Guess nobody lives there, they will need to send Israeli settlers to make the mountains and coastal resort towns flourish.

@Migueldeicaza and the dashed lines showing the so-called disputed border around the Golan Heights... an area that is in SYRIA, not israel. SMFH. should not be in dispute - israel is simply an invading, occupying force when they aren't busy promoting religious extremism and terrorism

@Migueldeicaza Just don't call it lebensraum. Remember: it's not a crime if Israel does it.

@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social they show some of the big cities but that’s it, nothing else you can even zoom in and see marked locations like businesses, hotels, and public squares but the village or town itself is not even marked this is so strange and scary to look at at first I thought maybe there’s some reason for it the government doesn’t want to share the geographical data or something but Google Maps has this place so……

@Migueldeicaza It does seem odd that there'd be so many roads in a place with such an allegedly small population that it's not worth labeling them.

@Migueldeicaza yeah, last I knew they still accepted the guy in the White House when he decided he could rename the Gulf of Mexico. What a shit-ass company 🍏

@Migueldeicaza just downloaded the Lebanon map via comaps on iOS and it is a massive difference, checking Apple Maps it shows the same as yours though. wtf?

@Migueldeicaza apples are really working hard for their desired position as tech fashion for the discerning new American fascist. NGL kinda looking forward to the chance to get back into Linux stuff in my new job.

@Migueldeicaza Israeli colonists love to claim the land they have ethnic cleansed is empty. Remember maps tell the story of its maker

Fortíssim! @Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social He fet algunes captures de pantalla comparant apple maps, openstreetmap (web, capa ciclista), bing i yandex (rus). No hi ha color! Em sembla un exemple paradigmàtic de com la cartografia es fa servir com la eina de dominació, i del biaix intrínsec que implica fer un mapa. Més i tot que l'etiqueta de "Golf de Mèxic (Golf d'Amèrica)" que tenen Apple i Google (i no Bing). Confusió entre mapa i territori. Creació de realitat. Donar forma a l'imaginari. Si el teu poble no surt al mapa, ja no tens dret de ser aquí. Això era casa teva, ja no. Si no has fugit o no t'has deixat expulsar, t'estàs agafant al passat. Això és només una zona de guerra sense nom. Això és només una zona de contenció militar (buffer zone). El meu mapa diu que aquí no hi ha res, així que si dius el contrari, és que no acceptes la realitat. Això és el que li diu Apple al poble libanès. Mentre que un mapa que no s'esborra, li diu a Israel: aquí hi viu gent. Aquesta terra té noms, i camins, i llocs, i vides. El que estàs fent s'acabarà i la teva invasió haurà estat un capítol més de la història d'aquest territori.

@Migueldeicaza This is highly annoying. No. Troubling. It’s still that way now. Are people only noticing on the Fediverse? I reported one to Apple. If we make reports they’ll definitely know we noticed. #AppleMaps #Lebanon
