Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.
-
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.
-
East? It's east of Alaska...

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".

US policy doesn't get to dictate how websites operate in non US jurisdiction. The US acting like it gets to bully the rest world into doing whatever it wants is the whole issue at hand. That's the point: the trump admin wants to use US influence to intimidate, bully, and antagonize other countries by disrespecting their sovereignty.

Putin and Trump are best friends so you might expect Russia to follow. But perhaps Putin wants to show he's the dominant one in said relationship.
-
I'm curious - how would they just "have phones switch", and if that's actually possible, to which "open non Google platform"?
-
Your issue is with the fed gov, or what is left of it
-
Save your old maps for when this shit has to be reversed in 4 years unless the voters elect another republican troglodyte.

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.

Travel to Beijing, open up Google search, and see if it gives you any historically accurate results about what happened there.
I'm serious, it sounds like you could use a lesson in freedom and the world outside your country.
