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

Since you have completely hijacked this from talking about the Gulf, as I said, call it what you want. I'll probably continue to call it Denali, because it's just a name.
Enjoy your privilege.

That's just a list of conventions? I could have looked that up. You're talking about a specific one right?

Did you really just call Taiwan a Chinese province?
It IS a Chinese province. Did you really not know that?
Nobody recognises Taiwan as an independent state.
Not even the hypocrite US meddling warmongers. -

I'm curious - how would they just "have phones switch", and if that's actually possible, to which "open non Google platform"?
This is absolutely possible, and how? Depends on lawyers, but technically its absolutely possible

Nah. I'll start boycotting google when there are useful alternatives. Amazon, facebook, reddit - no problem.
Google search - fine, I can get by with DDG or Yandex. Gmail - sure, whatever. Maps? Organic Maps (and other openstreetmaps front-ends) works alright for getting your bearings, but it's a far cry from useful for finding businesses, and terrible for navigation. Waze used to be the only viable alternative, but ever since Google bought them, it's hard to justify a full boycott without massively inconveniencing myself.
Same for meta as a whole. Facebook and Instagram, sure, no need. But living without whatsapp is simply impossible in some countries, where it's the de-facto standard for communication, and even used as the only means of contact with government agencies.
There is Mapquest. It sucks in a lot of places though
