Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.
-
Again, read the page you linked:
President Benjamin Harrison signed an Executive Order establishing the BGN and giving it authority to resolve unsettled geographic names questions.
Key word: "unsettled"
-
-
It's Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) outside of the USA and just Gulf of Mexico in Mexico. Absolute insanity
-
-
-
But why? Why should any other country care about the US's ridiculous internal politics
-
The issue is the US does not own the gulf whereas they own the streets.
-
If Trump gets to redefine reality as he sees fit then we do too.
See you on the other side, friendo.
-
IP address, same way they decide what language to show the names in
-
As a mexican I second this thought
-
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.
