Gulf of Make a Report to Apple
-
It’s being rolled out slowly. I still can only see Gulf of Mexico.
-
You should abandon Apple for Linux anyways. Apple doesn't care about you, your privacy, or anything but them making more money, from you. This has been proven time and time again by evidence and whistleblowers.
-
I get what you're saying but, as someone observing from outside, stuff like this is all I can do to resist.
-
Yeah, I mean it's just books those nazis are burning, it doesn't hurt anything, no need to discuss it. /s
US fascists are fucking rewriting the world and eradicating historical name, I consider it actual damage.
-
I use Naziland
-
lol, the iOS app won’t let me submit a ‘name is wrong’ report.
-
At the same time it's the map's job to describe the world. Even for something like nation states where there's an official name, the map uses the common name. Our maps say France, not French Republic.
Changing the displayed name for a body of water shared by several nations doesn't make much sense, especially when the common name has yet to follow.
At least that's from the perspective of one of the goals the map ostensibly wants to serve.
-
Actual book burning is the scientific data and articles being purged and saved (for now) by the Internet archive
-
It won’t let you send until you actually change the name lol
-
Ah that was not immediately apparent lol I’m silly
-
Wrote App Store review, then deleted maps. Installed Organic Maps to replace.
-
Based. Organic maps is a great navigation app. I also like magic earth
-
Also, reporting that Trump Tower (either) should be renamed Mexico Tower feels pretty good.
-
Yah, it feels like someone tossing a ball behind a dog. "Look over there! Go get it!"
-
The stunlock continues
-
Honestly - this is from a playbook used by every autocratic administration: “Take the attention away from the more important things”. Seen it in EU constantly: Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, etc.
So sure, report it, but be aware this is a charade. -
That's why they made Apple intelligence so minded numbingly stupid. Job security. If it were capable Apple management would have replaced everyone.
-
All he can dictate is what official American maps call it. But he can't make everyone else rename it, Apple and Google did not need to rename it they could have ignored him who has no legal power to do anything to them but they are kissing his bronzed arse so of course they did.
-
To be fair, the entire history of humanity is full of exactly that. These are mostly just aimed at and recognized by the US. Same as Russia currently renaming occupied villages. Nobody else recognizes those, it’s just not that special or important at this point, with all of the other shit going on.
Ultimately, the names of places change. All the time. And will continue to change. It’s just what we do as humans. Somebody uses force and swings their dick around and locally others have to either swallow or punch the fucker. Elsewhere people fight similar fights and care very little about the other dickswingers far away.

Scared me for a sec, though I had an IP leak as I VPN to Switzerland but remembered I explicitly allowed Maps to be routed through a US VPN.
