Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of America

Let me introduce you to our Lord and Savior, GrapheneOS

This is correct, given a new administration can simply change it back to keep it in line with the rest of the world. Won't do us much good if there isn't a next administration, though.
-
Lmao its apple map alright
-
Now it just shows Golf of America for me. Seems to have been caused by the live rollout.
-
I honestly don’t give a shit, and wish less attention was given to inconsequential nonsense like this.
Trump and co are doing things far more destructive than this.
You can’t die on literally every hill. Save your energy and fight the important fights.
-
It doesn’t for me that’s weird.
-
It's just a very literal direct example of American imperialism.
This is a rallying call. Get pissed off about it. Shout how Trump is a fascist. Shouting is how they've been winning the cultural political war. They own more media organizations and can be louder. If we say nothing then the average person thinks whats happening is fine. Saying something is a part of political action. You're not going to get people to riot if they aren't angry. Anger is a gift.
-
It’s a direct example of distracting people from the actual consequential actions.
It’s like yall forgot the first Trump presidency. People were protesting and getting angry early on. Then they burnt out.
They didn’t have energy to fight when important things happened.
Be angry. Sure. But be smart about what you’re angry about.
This is something dumb.
-
It's like the shitpost version of blitzkrieg. Just overwhelming you with absolute diarrhea for the soul. And it's working, even though we all know it's happening.

I’m gonna put a pin in this, but I’ll come back to it later
-
Today I’ve officially made organic maps my primary. I’m gonna try to make it work.

In the EU, they still show Mexico, while google shows both names:
-
Why are Americans so riled up about this?
Do you guys not realize that this reaction is literally one of the reasons they do this? To be a distraction and to show their base that they made the bad people
cry about it. -
Why are Americans so riled up about this?
For me, it's the blatant racism with some fascist nationalism thrown in.

Just waiting for the TVA to prune us.

When you go to report an issue, and select “Name is wrong”, the send button never activates, whereas “something else” will.
So this is a bit of capitulation that seems to be hard coded and they just don’t want to hear about it.
-
You know, I had the shitty thought that at least back before chat communication, a robber baron (or it's equal kind) had to actually hire thugs and henchmen to cause local chaos. Now it's just some tech oligarch with some bots or a paid anonymous service causing disruption.
We really got fucked over on this one. I'm really not sure how America pulls itself out of this one with the state of education and political polarization. The federal part of our government definitely isn't offering up any solutions.
-
Come on man if we are crying racism over this is nonsense no-one will actually listen to us when we are actually facing real racism.
This is exactly what they want.

I think you're under thinking this.
The primary focus of Trump since coming to office has been securing natural resources. Greenland, Canada, Ukraine all have rich mineral deposits. Even the Panama shit is about controlling a geographic "resource"...the canal.
This rename is about making it sound like it belongs to the US. What's there a lot of here? Oil. And it sits under international waters.
