As fraudsters try to update business information on Google Business Profiles with abusive edits, the tech giant has said that it blocked more than 100 million of these edits from going live on Google Maps last year, using machine learning-based models. The company identified and removed more than 7 million fake Business Profiles -- more than 630,000 of which were reported directly to the company by users.
