I just sent one in to Google Maps. Clearly it must be a bug. No such place exists

I can't be the only one who feels like this is the absolute lowest priority of dumb shit to resist the regime over. It's just filler. Another thing he is doing to flood the zone. But one that really doesn't hurt anything. It's a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.

You have to access it from a US IP address to get the new name.
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'm going to start calling it the United States of America of Mexico and sometimes Canada.
I use Naziland

lol, the iOS app won’t let me submit a ‘name is wrong’ report.

I don't really know how to feel about this.
Was it decreed by an absolute narcissist for no reason other than the kind of blatant arrogance Americans are notorious for? Absolutely.
Was it also completely legal? As far as I can tell. It's not really these companies' place to resist map name changes, it's the citizens' and our representatives'.
Does it have anything at all to do with fascism? No.
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

Wrote App Store review, then deleted maps. Installed Organic Maps to replace.

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!"

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. -
Shout out to the menial workers at Apple Maps who are going to have a crap day at work tomorrow because of the thing their boss made them do, so they don't get fired and replaced by someone else who would do it.
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.
