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

Es el chapulín colorado

Can someone just make a mod or something for g-maps to name all American names to like Spanish ones? Nuevo York, Guashintón Distrito de Columbia, that kinda stuff.
-
I fucking love pancakes, hockey, beer, and poutine, where do I sign up?
-
Just call it the Gulf of Fuck The Environment, We're Getting Rich!
-
No contaban con mi astucia!
-
I'd much rather they make California the 13th province.
-
Guayinton or Guallinton fits better
-
Come on, guys. You have drug cartels. Surely they have a guy named Luigi. Doesn't Trump want to declare war on Mexico or some insane shit like that?
-
They are both states united and in north america....

You guys are alright, let’s join forces and make a maple bacon breakfast burrito.

if the US government wanted Google to do something, they could storm their headquarters and get the government tech people to go in the servers and change it.
Bwahahahahahahainhalehahahahahahaa
Thanks, I needed that. Whatever movies you're watching are terrible.
Forcing your way into Google to have "government techs" change something is NCIS level ridiculous. Conceivably they might get a court order to "force" Google to change. Funnily enough, the US and Mexico have the exact same levers to make a company do what they want. The US has more power to push those levers though.
-
Because Google is actuvely pushing US government agenda into Canada. It should be considered an extension of the US government as far as other countries are concerned, but it's a corporation so nobody cares. Google WILL assist in taking Canada the best they can, so I guess Canada can just enjoy it or whatever instead of doing something about it.

You have drug cartels.

Google is one of many propaganda arms of the US govt. I highly doubt they'd comply with that as it doesn't fit in with their political agenda.
-
I’m going to recommend it be changed to “The Gulf,” since it meets all criteria for a name change - most importantly that it be a name in common usage by locals.
So now when I refer to "The Gulf States", I'm typically referring to Alabama and Florida and Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
-
The US keeps it to flex on all the other American countries. It's a display of dominance.
-
At that point they would be like twitter in Brazil when they didn't comply with fines and were blocked at the country level: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y06vzk3yjo
-
the proper US Board on Geographic Names’s official process not being followed for the name change.
This is the theme of this administration. Doing whatever they want with no regard for process. This gulf of "America" nonsense truly feels like the actions of a believed king or emperor. A frivolous decree that doesn't change anything, doesn't materially affect anything, just an opportunity to exercise their believed power.
-
It looks like they’re giving the lawyers time to find legal arguments to file.
Though they could jusr ban Google from their country.
-
Everyone has drug cartels. The US doesn't even make thr top 20 tho.
