 Cartographic censorship

Cartographic censorship refers to the practice of altering, omitting, or distorting geographical information on maps to control the dissemination of knowledge, influence public perception, or achieve political or ideological objectives. This can take various forms, including: 1. **Omission of Features**: Certain geographical features, such as borders, landmarks, or entire territories, may be deliberately left out or misrepresented. For instance, some maps may exclude disputed regions or territories claimed by a country.
