Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.
-
americans can call it whatever the fuck they want, that wont suddenly change its local or english name in any other countries
-
In the world I want to live in...
Google would have taken a principled stand against such an attempt at a govt.
Instead, they bent the knee along with every other Tech Oligarch and, therefore, deserve the hit.

Step two of the plan you outlined was inverted, but the effect is the same: IIRC it only shows up that way for US users.
-
You can argue with strangers on the Internet as much as you like, but the fact is, the US president can and has changed the name of multiple geographic features, and arguing with me won't change that.
-
Why didn't they change it only in the US and not elsewhere? Could you imagine the uproar if Google censored Tiananmen Square world wide because of the Chinese government?
PS: Yes it was modified for everyone outside the US too. I am not American but your "president" is now allowed to change what name I have to call something?

Oh, you've been caught being dumb and your story is changing.
First it was "the government", now it's "the president".
That's not how America works, lol. Naming things is a legislative responsibility. Trump can sign as many executive orders as he wants, but it isn't official without an act of congress and a chance for the judiciary to object.

IIRC it only shows up that way for US users.
apparently that was either a lie or incomplete info
Where'd you first hear this?
Not judging, just curious about the information chain.
-
Nah, they’re willing collaborators.
-
The president is part of the government, they're not two separate entities.
And once again, there is nothing to be gained by arguing with me about this.
-
PLEASE.DO IT

potus is the "head of government". Would you prefer him to write your head of government?
-
You underestimate how much I enjoy arguing with people on the internet, lol.
So is this your admission that your earlier statement was false, or are you still pretending that "part of" is the same thing as "all"?

You're thinking of fascism. In America, the legislature names things, the executive signs or vetoes, and the judiciary adjudicates.
