So this vlogger seems to have identified that at some point, someone uploaded an entirely fake border between Syria and Jordan to OpenStreetMaps (the citation on the OSM diff says the source is a CIA map, but the CIA map does not resemble the OSM content) and OSM got used as a basis by lots of commercial mapping tools, and now tons of news articles about Syria are featuring maps of Syria that just has an incorrect southern border?
