If you happen to review few places on Google Map you are holding superpowers. Idk if that works for new accounts too. But yeah, at least if you do some activity then you report a place as closed, they are "checking" it for 1h, then you get the e-mail that the place got removed from Maps.

I use that for good purpose - I fix a lot of invalid information on Google Maps around my home town, and they apply the changes without batting an eye. This is good for society. But I can clearly see how that could be used for abusive purposes.
