The movements of groups of people can be traced on Google Maps using real-time traffic data. To prevent the warring parties in the Ukraine conflict from using the data, no traffic information is currently displayed for the country in the navigation app. In addition, it is currently not displayed how busy different shops are.
As the Reuters news agency reports, Google wants to protect people from attacks in this way.
Live traffic information is still available for users in Ukraine when using navigation mode. This should make it easier for those affected to escape.
