    And like, quickly too.

    Changing it quite literally does nothing beyond signal your willingness to partake. Sitting on it a few weeks does nothing as well.

    Google went from Don’t be evil to Try not to choke on the boot, but if that’s how we’re going out, so be it.

      Reading some Canadian reddit-logo they are seething so hard that it’s so easy for trump to rile them up. Yeah he changed the name and the map place that was in bed with him at his inauguration is still supporting him. How are they surprised.

      That this is the reason a bunch of people Jump ship from Google ecosystem is deeply reminiscent of families that would quit a church over the smallest shit, like someone bringing a similar cookie to bake sale or something, and not the rampant corruption and sexual assault problems.

      We’ve got a whole nation of can-excuse-1 up here.

      Google (along with the other tech giants) are in violation of antitrust laws. They just don’t get properly enforced because of lobbying and bribes. Trump is vindictive enough to take disobedience personally and use the DoJ to wound them way beyond a few billion in fines.

      Trump is going to be a lame duck very soon, but resisting (notice there’s no RESIST movement this time around?) Is not profitmaxxing. So they must fold.

    Didn’t Google do this with the Gulf of Mexico too? I seem to remember around that time learning that Google uses different names for different regions and they were only showing the name to Americans.

    Meanwhile OSM and even MapQuest haven’t renamed the Gulf of Mexico.

      OSM is mostly maintained by EU/German grants right?

        I don’t know about funding, but OSM is user edited and has no doubt reverted the name many times now:

        a screenshot shows both names in different locales and a note: Please see https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571 and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico before editing the name of this feature. Undiscussed changes will be reverted.

        For convenience:

        https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571

        https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico

        In short: both are listed, but the primary name remains.

        the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s longstanding policy regarding geopolitical disputes is to prioritize the on the ground rule by default but also record information about notable alternative claims, so that data consumers such as renderers and geocoders can choose what to present to end users.

    Remember when the internet was screeching about how Google was woke?

    Look at them not just kissing Trump’s rings, but deepthroating it.

    Actually this is very clever and based moved for Google. Notice how they only labeled the American side of the lake ‘America’? Checkmate, Drumpf.
