The Name Of The Constitutional Court Building On Google Maps Has Turned Into A Family Court, Can It Be? Here's How

JAKARTA - Not long ago, on October 24, there was a lot of screenshots circulating where the name of the Constitutional Court (MK) of the Republic of Indonesia was changed to the Family Court by a netizen.

However, when this article was written, VOI had seen the name of the location that was changed to the Family Court now back to the beginning, namely the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia.

The incident of changing the name of the location or place in Google Maps is not the first incident. Previously, the same thing had happened to the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI) building.

Sekitar bulan Juli lalu, beberapa nama gedung di kawasan DPR juga diganti menjadi "PERKULAN TIKUS BERDASI", "GERUNG KORUPSI", PETERNAKAN TIKUS", dan juga "PEMBASMI TIKUS."
