what if they decide to draw the border between countries wherever they want

This seems a bit tin foil hat to me. Has Google been caught doing something like this before with malicious intent?

I would not call it "malicious intent" but for example the borders of Tibet are very controversial: https://qz.com/224821/see-how-borders-change-on-google-maps-...

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the link.

It’s not about malicious intent on Google’s part- the borders between countries are literally the most contentious lines ever drawn, people die every single day over them. Google shouldn’t be an authority on border disputes in any capacity.
