On 26 November 2016, a prankster altered Google Maps so that Trump Tower (the New York City home base for President-elect Donald Trump) was labeled Dump Tower. Multiple media outlets took screen shots of the change and posted them online: The prank caught on, prompting another Google user to similarly alter the name of Trump International Hotel & Tower in Columbus Circle. But the names have since been corrected. Google allows users to suggest edits to location names, not to outright change them, so it's unclear how the edit was made: A spokeswoman for the tech giant told the Associated Press: The names of Trump's buildings were corrected the same day the edits occurred.
