Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.

That shows where you are, not who you are.

I'm a mexican in mexico, my phone's in japanese and it still shows as gulf of mexico
-
if im not mistaken, i think i heard google pulls the data from some external database, which changed the name. google didnt change shit, rather the database they use did.
i could be wrong, but i could have sworn i read that somewhere.
also seems rather petty to me to sue an american company for following US policy changes.
to be clear, i think the gulf of america thing is stupid as hell, and petty on trump's part.

True. Guess it's more like them getting Google to change Greenland into West Alaska
-
Ha. I speak Spanish and Japanese. My girlfriend lives in Jilatopec. Sheinbaum está furiosa con Trump y me encanta.

Google is evil.

found an article for whoever downvoted me lol.
Gulf of America name change in the U.S. — what you’ll see in Maps

They did change that line from "do no evil" to "do any profitable amount of evil", so this is fair play.
-
Kim Jung Un you mean?
-
I hope that along with the next president's EO (assuming we don't have a dictator) to change the name back, it also changes the name of a tiny garbage parcel of land that's uninhabitable due to lead or an old chemical spill to something like "greasy orange fief".

Your issue is with the fed gov, or what is left of it

Some android phones can run graphene OS, which is a privacy fork of android if I understand it correctly. Regulation to open bootloaders from manufacturers wanting to sell in the Mexican market would probably be possible. Might be the only good thing to come out of this if countries start regulating openness.

Why bother with this? If you want to make a point, pass regulation in Mexico to call E.E.U.U. (US in Mexico) be called Northern Mexico. Then Google is forced to comply on that territory like they claim they do for disputed sections when maps are viewed from that region. It would make for some funny reactions from people visiting Cancun or Puerto Vallarta.
