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

I prefer the name "golfo del gringo loco"

Invest in a snowblower

DuckDuckGo is just Bing. And Microsoft is not any better in terms of kissing Trump's ass.

I see you haven't met the MAGA-filled Central Valley and northern Californian populations.

Showing with both names does not make it any better and I'm not sure why you think it does. They're just kowtowing to a unilateral decision made by one of the multiple countries that border the Gulf of Mexico.
I assume you would not want Taiwan to be called Chinese Taipei on Google Maps despite China calling it that.
-
The official name is the Gulf of Mexico. It doesn't become a different name just because Trump declares it. It isn't up to him.
-
I'm outside the U.S. and Mexico. This is what I see.
Incidentally, that is also what Mexicans see.
Trump and Google have decided that the whole world has to acknowledge Trump's unilateral declaration.
-
in their jurisdiction (Mexico) it is actually the "Gulf of Mexico" in Google Maps, they don't get the "Gulf of America" name.
I'm in Europe and for me it says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)". 🥴

Right? Honestly there are plenty of geographical features that are named differently between different languages and countries. It really doesn't affect anybody except people in the US.
-
This is what I see in England. Why should I have to see what Trump thinks the Gulf's name is when it wasn't renamed here?
-
China calls Taiwan "Chinese Taipei." Should Google Maps show "Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)" on maps? Because I don't see how that would be China's call any more than the name of the Gulf would be Trump's call.
-
I want to know how many of the people here defending Google's decision would be okay with Google labeling Taiwan as "Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)" for people in Taiwan and also the rest of the world.

or we keep american shit inside america.
fuck googlemaps, apple and all other shitty US corporations.
see, tump will die some day and be forgotten, but people will remember what apple and google did.
next time you see someone work for alphabet...spit them in the face. next time an american buys a burger, you spit on it. etc.
it is not about actual harm as america is killing itself anyway atm. my bingo card says if trump wins twice, there shall also be two pandemics. maybe protest the egg prices a bit more before using that muri-brain to do sth. against it. americans are just stupid. -
you both are stupid. "let the bully do it".
how about Fuck the USA? much sexier.
-
it really sucks when you realise that virtually everything is a US company... and yet everything they sell is made in fucking China
-
have we (the human race) ever been to this point before? where corporations are big enough to absorb whole countries and there's pretty much nobody who'll stand up to them?
