When I was at Meta working on the maps team, we couldn’t afford to hold this “view from nowhere”. Facebook is enormously popular in India where showing a map that doesn’t match the country’s own vision of itself carried criminal penalties for our colleagues. Laws on cartography in India are specific and strict.

I could understand civil penalties, but criminal?
