Google search information error, restaurant phone number becomes immigration "hotline"

Recently, it was reported by the media that due to the errors in search information on Google regarding telephone numbers for entry and exit services, a Japanese restaurant was disturbed.

It is understood that the information on Google Maps is provided by information providers who have registered on the website or some merchants. This erroneous information might be caused by a merchant making a mistake while transcribing the information. The Google customer service representative stated that such incorrect information is usually maintained by the merchants themselves who transcribed it, and the customer service department cannot update it either. To quickly eliminate the misleading effects of the wrong information, the Entry-Exit Administration Bureau had no choice but to register as a Google website user and then log in to publish new accurate information.

Currently, with the widespread sources of Internet information and the lack of a strict review system for publishing information, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the information published and transcribed by various websites. As entry-exit activities become increasingly closely related to citizens' lives, entry-exit policies are also frequently adjusted according to the needs of exchanges. Therefore, the Entry-Exit Administration Department reminds all citizens: if you want to understand entry-exit policies and related information, please log in to the government portal website or call the consultation hotline, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by inaccurate information when applying for entry-exit documents.

With the diversification and fast-foodization of information, on one hand, it has facilitated some users to timely obtain information through the network; on the other hand, it is also very easy to mislead customers with erroneous information. Therefore, just like asking for directions outside, it is best to ask multiple people about the same location, and similarly, when searching online, try to look up more materials to avoid the aforementioned issues.
