It was great, in 2017

It hasn’t stopped being great.

We need better safe guards and checks so that some person can’t just delete France.

The map is updated millions of times per day. There are checks in place, but sometimes one is missed especially if it’s a minor contribution such as “this street has a bus stop”. Deleting France, yeah someone would notice that change and prevent it from taking place.
