Some public places want more Pokemon Go--but the Holocaust Museum does not
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/07/some-public-places-want-more-pokemon-go-but-the-holocaust-museum-does-not/ Niantic representatives declined to answer Ars' questions about whether it will abide by the museum's request for delisting. Instead, Ars was forwarded a link to Niantic's "bug report ticket" site and was told that "inappropriate locations or content" could be reported through that interface. That site does not include specific instructions about making such reports. The news follows a rash of official notices and anecdotal reports about people using the app to their detriment. In particular, posts by police officers and medical professionals are alleging a rash of police reports and ER visits, respectively, revolving around Pokmon Go; in the former case, issues appear to stem from "suspicious" individuals descending upon the game's Pokstop locations at strange hours, while in the latter, pedestrians and car drivers alike may be ignoring the app's splash screen warning them to be mindful of their surroundings while playing. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
