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

Bro, are you ok? "US dictayorship"? Trump was elected by the majority of Americans. How is Trump destroying YOUR planet? By changing the name of the gulf? Is this the biggest problem "your" planet has?
Fukin soypeople...
You need actual therapy
-
How? What makes him a dictator today?
What doesnt?
-
Dude, you are taking words out of context, you aren't addressing anything. You read the word "dictator", saw red in front of your eyes and ran with it.
Trump doesnt care about you bro lmao

Inside Mexico they should name it whatever the Mexico calls it. Outside Mexico it should be called however it is called in the respective country.
But again, Google is based in the US, all their decisions are made there.
Yeah and its called Gulf of Mexico outside Mexico. Learning is hard

Furbag said that Google is fascist, while Apple is doing exactly the same thing. You absolute moron.
Fascism exists

Don't even bother with a pointless lawsuit. Simply stop using Google.
Nah, they're a megacorp, you gotta hurt them where it counts - in their bottom line. Make them use their super expensive lawyers to defend this shit. Honestly more people/entities should do this. Even pro se, these corporate lawyers cost these companies literally hundreds of thousands of dollars to go into court. Just imagine how much you could cost them if everyone started suing them for any little thing. Even a response to a lawsuit requires a lawyer, which requires time and effort.
Its literally the only thing they care about - money. Strongly worded letters and protests aren't enough. They can ignore those.

I'm sorry you're not ready to accept that you're stuck on one word, ignoring the rest of the sentence. Just because you claim you addressed it, doesn't mean you really did.
You're asking why did I point that? Welp, because you lied by ommission.
Omission*

Nah it actually matters more than you think. As an American you might think this is okay, but its not. And Trump getting away with whatever he wants all the time is because of enabling
For sure. It's just that this isn't the part that matter. This is part of the enabling. If you're paying attention here you don't see the other thing over there. It's slight of hand. You only have so much attention, and it's better spent where it actually has an effect. This will be reversed with the next president.

What do you mean by not resolving? It isn't working for you?
That's what that means, yes. Worked for me though.

Ive been already boycotting google, amazon, facebook, reddit. Yall need to get on it
Nah. I'll start boycotting google when there are useful alternatives. Amazon, facebook, reddit - no problem.
Google search - fine, I can get by with DDG or Yandex. Gmail - sure, whatever. Maps? Organic Maps (and other openstreetmaps front-ends) works alright for getting your bearings, but it's a far cry from useful for finding businesses, and terrible for navigation. Waze used to be the only viable alternative, but ever since Google bought them, it's hard to justify a full boycott without massively inconveniencing myself.
Same for meta as a whole. Facebook and Instagram, sure, no need. But living without whatsapp is simply impossible in some countries, where it's the de-facto standard for communication, and even used as the only means of contact with government agencies.

Senkaku Islands are the center of a dispute between Japan and China, both claim them, both have names for them. Wikipedia goes more in depth.

On google maps we get...
So it's not like they can't give stuff multiple names.
That's what YOU get since you're neither in China nor Japan. They only get to see their relative government's name. China in fact gets to see nothing since they block Google, but it you happen to be in Hong Kong or Macau, you would.

lolYeah its actually insane how far Googles reach has gotten

We'll see who's laughing after the government breaks through all of Google's firewalls and hacks their mainframe!
They're gonna need a lot of cyber-tape if they want any chance of stopping all the data from spilling through their firewalls.
And who knows how google would handle a cyber-nuke.Don’t forget two people typing on one keyboard

Oh yeah, I forgot. Implying people enjoy soy is an insult. Ouch! My feelings.
I never said Dictayorship. Because that's terrible spelling of the only word you needed to spell correctly to actually criticise me. I also never linked the mislabeling of the Gulf as destroying the planet. He is though...
He proclaimed that he will "OWN" Gaza through means of literal ethnic cleansing. He's conspiring with Putin to help finalise his invasion of eastern Ukraine. He's currently purging the Government of minorities and people he deems unloyal. Elon Musk is infiltrating and tearing up government departments as an unelected right-hand entity. His right-wing army are, by algorithm, shifting the western world easily into fascism. I could go on but I'm done with you.
Bottom line... pay attention.
Also... the fact that you put forward Trump was elected by majority of Americans is a straight out lie. Grow up.
Proud soyboi checkin in

Interestingly (or not) it's also used in French but only in one case that I'm aware of. Monsieur is abbreviated to M. while messieurs (plural) is MM.
Oh, 2 M's touch.

It's a US company following US policy as it's a contract holder for the US Government they're compelled to follow US policy. Whether anyone likes it or not, at least for right now, US policy is that the Gulf of Mexico for all intents and purposes is the Gulf of America.
President Sheinbaum can sue Google all she wants, but there's no court that's going to find that a US company complying with US policy is breaking the law.

Actually the executive order only renames the parts that the US controls, and they don't control the entire gulf
