As The New York Times reports, users of a variety of popular apps and services, including Snapchat, awoke Thursday morning to find that New York City had been relabeled “Jewtropolis” on maps displayed in the apps. People on Twitter quickly posted screen shots of the maps, calling them racist and anti-Semitic.

Maps on Snapchat, Citi Bike, StreetEasy and even The New York Times all appeared to be affected.

All of those affected appeared to use embeddable maps from a third-party company called Mapbox. The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but in an interview with TechCrunch, Eric Gundersen, the chief executive, said the problems were “100 percent fixed and should have never happened.”

Shares are down almost 3%...

Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, said that the third-party data it uses for its maps tool, Snap Map, had been “subject to vandalism.”

“This defacement is deeply offensive and entirely contrary to our values, and we want to apologize to any members of our community who saw it,” a Snap spokeswoman said in an email.

Social media is aghast...

The Jew is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Jew and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

it's anti-Semitic

I don't get how saying Jew is anti-semitic?

I wanna see DNA results on the whole "racist" charge.

I wanna see DNA results on the whole "racist" charge.This is a good point. How is calling a Jew a Jew racist or anti-semitic? You don't see White people complaining of racism when someone calls them White. Or Chinese people calling it racist if someone calls them Chinese. The answer is in Ares' post just above. Calling them what they are is like calling a cockroach a cockroach; it's not untrue but it doesn't look that good.
